What does the FLX acronym mean?
Hello everybody,
I`d like to know what mean the FLX acronym in 454 sequencer?
Thanks

good question. my guess is: it's no actual acronym but should mean something like flexibility...
Since there are few words starting with X makes my theory a little more probable. -
Yep, at the launch of the GSFLX it was explained to mean the flexibility of one machine, different projects, different number of lanes (2, 4, 8, 16) and plates (remember the small picotiter plate, anyone?), and the fact that you wouldn't have to buy a new machine for each upgrade (so far, so good)...Comment

I expect that's why the Jr is just Jr and not FLX Jr. Not that I'm bitter, just hoping that Jr hits puberty and becomes Jr+

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
