ExonHit produces new map for human genome expression

By Elaine Rigoli

Tampa, Fla., Sept. 5 - ExonHit Therapeutics SA said Tuesday that it has completed a new messenger RNA (transcripts) map coming from human genome expression, due to the discovery of alternative splicing events, key components of transcriptome diversity (set of expressed genes).

The Paris diagnostic discovery company said its new human genome map will allow the scientific community to characterize, rapidly and easily, transcripts expressed from genes of their choice.

From a set of about 22,000 human genes and the most recent sequence databases, ExonHit said its researchers have identified all of the splicing events present in these databases. These scientists then established a probe set configuration for microarrays, patented in the United States and Europe.

Two million probes are thus established, the company noted, to track all specific expression transcripts known to date and to identify new ones.
