Date	Abstract
June 19, 2013	Combine expression-optimized genes with an advanced expression system to improve your results Gene optimization affects multiple levels of gene expression, and results in increased overall expression reliability and protein yields.This complete solution—from gene to protein—offers enhanced protein expression with different options, depending on your level of experience and lab resources. This includes the option to outsource your gene expression, receiving your protein within 30 business days, or adopting the technologies in your own laboratory.	Register Now
On Demand	New Easy Methods for Next Generation Cloning for Every Lab This webinar showcases a new methodology for cloning genes using GeneArt® Strings™ DNA Fragments along with the trusted assembly techniques of restriction enzyme/ligation and seamless cloning. This new methodology not only helps save time and money but allows scientists to remain focused on results rather than troubleshooting lengthy cloning reactions.	View Webinar
On-demand	Introduction to simplified vector design and integrated gene synthesis ordering through new Vector NTI® Express Designer Software Vector NTI® Express Designer Software leads the way in engineering the next generation of in silico cloning and assembly. The newly developed interface is a virtual project canvas for both simplified drag-and-drop vector construction and simplified submission and ordering of gene synthesis projects. In this webinar, you will learn step-by-step how this powerful, easy-to-use bioinformatics software can help you do bio-design, faster customer vector construction, sequence optimization, and gene synthesis.

On-demand	Synthetic TAL Effectors for Targeted Gene Activation in Plants The ability to selectively activate or inhibit gene expression has value in basic plant biology and agriculture. Targeted gene activation can be achieved by specifically expressing a gene of interest in a temporally and/or spatially defined manner in transgenic plants, or by directly activating endogenous gene expression in its original genetic context. Join this webinar where Dr. Neal Stewart, professor and director at Tennessee Plant Research Center provides novel insights into the potential applications of synthetic TALEs for targeted gene activation of transgenes in plants.

On-demand	Fast, simple alternative to traditional cloning This webinar illustrates how a significant amount of time could be saved by cutting out the unnecessary steps from traditional cloning and moving into gene synthesis. Gene synthesis has become a cost effective, time- and resource-saving method for obtaining nearly any desired DNA construct with 100% accuracy. It outperforms conventional molecular biology techniques in terms of time and cost, while providing equivalent or better expression performance, and construct stability and quality. Watch this webinar and go beyond traditional synthesis and build your next breakthrough using next-generation cloning.	View Webinar
On-demand	Move Beyond Traditional DNA Cloning and Editing In this webinar, learn how to clone or edit DNA in a single step harnessing the power of homologous recombination. No more restriction digests, end-repair, ligation, subcloning, and enzyme inactivation steps with DNA loss at every stage. Even multisite mutagenesis is made simpler with homologous recombination, making substitutions, deletions, or insertions easier than ever. Watch this webinar and you’ll cut, edit and create DNA faster than ever.	View Webinar
On-demand	Plant genetic engineering This webinar introduces the newest genome editing technology for plants, GeneArt® Precision TALs. The scientific presentation also covers other cloning and algae engineering technologies, such as Gateway® and GeneArt® gene synthesis, to support your quest to engineer the next generation of crops.

On-demand	Plant sequencing In a paper in the journal Plant Physiology, Dr. Franziska Turck and her team explained how they recently introduced deep candidate resequencing (dCARE) to their Arabidopsis mutant identification pipeline using the Ion PGM™ Sequencer. In this webinar, learn Dr. Turck’s opinion about the application of the isogenic mapping approach for plant gene identification, and how the fast and cost-effective barcoding Ion PGM™ System improves her deep sequencing workflow.	View Webinar
On-demand	Genetic analysis solutions for plant science This webinar discusses scientific examples from key plant biotechnology applications such as transcriptome sequencing, plant genotyping and marker-assisted selection, plant genetic engineering, and GMO testing. The examples are followed by a presentation on how our simple, scalable, and affordable genetic analysis solutions can have the greatest impact for plant researchers.	View Webinar
