When scientists finished mapping the human genome, they thought their work was done. However, they have since found out that there is such a thing as too much information.

There are only a little more than a handful of companies that are pioneering different versions of microarray technology, but each has found its own niche in this rarified area of bioresearch.

Ocimum Biosolutions, a leading provider of Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and bioinformatics solutions, announced that the National Institute for Cellular Biotechnology (NICB), Dublin City University (DCU) has acquired their Biotracker LIMS solution to provide a centralised, secure, privilege driven access to researchers working in the gene expression and proteomics groups at DCU.

This centralized database would assist researchers to track samples, growth conditions, clinical history
