Abstract:
:Sample automation and management is increasingly important as the number and size of population-scale and high-throughput projects grow. This is particularly the case in large-scale population studies where sample size is far outpacing the commonly used 96-well plate format. To facilitate management and transfer of samples in this format, we present Samasy, a web-based application for the construction of a sample database, intuitive display of sample and batch information, and facilitation of automated sample transfer or subset. Samasy is designed with ease-of-use in mind, can be quickly set up, and runs in any web browser.

BIOTECHNIQUES文献大全abstract::Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) express Mdr1a/1b and Bcrp1/Abcg2, which are members of the ATP binding cassette transporter family. Mice lacking both Mdr1-type genes (Mdr1a and Mdr1b) or Bcrp1 had normal hematopoietic development, but it has been unclear whether Mdr1a/1b and Bcrp1 play redundant roles in hematopoiesis...
