Rnnotator 3.0 Software 2013-093
ABSTRACT: To address challenges related to comprehensive annotation and quantification of transcriptomes, Rnnotator was developed by a team at the Joint Genomics Institute (JGI) to provide an automated software pipeline that generates transcript models by de novo assembly of RNA-Seq data without the need for a reference genome. STATUS: Copyrighted. Available for … [Read more...] about Rnnotator 3.0 Software 2013-093
Copolymer Electrolyte Mesh Filtering TACE Therapy Components 2014-140
APPLICATIONS: Cancer treatment using transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) ADVANTAGES: Concentrates TACE reagents in the tumor area Reduces amount of Doxorubicin circulating in the body High binding capacity and fast binding kinetics specifically accommodate large amounts of Doxorubicin Not thrombogenic ABSTRACT: Researchers at Berkeley Lab, in … [Read more...] about Copolymer Electrolyte Mesh Filtering TACE Therapy Components 2014-140
Artificial Photosynthesis: Chemical Synthesis Powered by Sunlight 2015-068
ABSTRACT: For the researchers' complete publication ACS NanoLetters, go here. Direct solar-powered production of value-added chemicals from CO2 and H2O, a process that mimics natural photosynthesis, is of fundamental and practical interest. In natural photosynthesis, CO2 is first reduced to common biochemical building blocks using solar energy, which are subsequently used … [Read more...] about Artificial Photosynthesis: Chemical Synthesis Powered by Sunlight 2015-068
Berkeley Lab’s 2015 Lab-Corps Teams Selected
Two Berkeley Lab teams have been selected for the 2015 DOE Lab-Corps Pilot Program: MyGreenCar (Sam Saxena, Nihar Shah, Dana Hansen) – supporting electric vehicle (EV) drivers, utilities and policy makers – and Ring Burner (Peter Therkelsen, Mike Tucker, Vi Rapp) – for reduced indoor air pollution and even heating from household and commercial appliances, such as … [Read more...] about Berkeley Lab’s 2015 Lab-Corps Teams Selected
