Sweet Taste Receptor Gene Identified Using Applied Biosystems Technology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
FOSTER CITY, Calif., May 7 -- Applied Biosystems Group, an Applera Corp. business, announced that researchers used its DNA sequencing and thermal cycling technology to identify a gene that may encode a receptor for sweet-tasting compounds. The finding, by separate teams of researchers at Harvard Medical School and New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine, may lead to a greater understanding of molecular codes that enable taste discrimination, and perhaps to a new generation of artificial sweeteners, the company said.     Scientist from both institutions used an ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer...Read full article
