Use of Nucleofector® Technology to Establish Stably Expressing Cell Lines
Amaxa GMBH

The number of stably expressing clones resulting from standard transfection experiments is often quite low, especially for cells which are difficult to transfect. This limits many research applications. We show here that the Nucleofector® Technology can successfully be used to generate stably expressing clones at high efficiency. Although a general protocol cannot be given, the data shown here can serve as a guideline for fast establishment of stable transfection protocols for various cell lines
  

Data Management System for Distributed Virtual Screening
Department of Biochemistry, University of Zürich, Switzerland

To manage HTD data effectively and efficiently, we have developed a distributed virtual screening data manage- ment system (DVSDMS) by integrating the open source database MySQL into high throughput docking.
