Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Services:

The Molecular Biology division is a full-service contract research group specializing in a wide range of genomic services. Our fundamental approach is to provide complete service solutions. Provide us with samples, and we provide you with answers from extraction to final data analysis and report.

Construction of Plasmids

RNA interference (RNAi), a hugely important technological breakthrough in modern biomedical research, is widely used in target identification and validation. The vector-based shRNA approach has become increasingly attractive for researchers utilizing RNAi technology, due to the ease of intracellular delivery and its sustainable expression characteristics. The construction of such shRNA plasmids, however, is a long and laborious process, and involves dealing with multiple vendors including oligo synthesis, DNA sequencing, large-scale and transfection-grade plasmid preparation, etc. Scientists are often additionally faced with challenges in shRNA synthesis, amplification of small hairpin fragments, and sequence verification of the difficult small hairpin region - all of which cause significant project delays or failures. We offer a complete package of shRNA cloning services.

Pathogen Detection

We offer to undertake Assay Development for Pathogen Detection. The Assay Development for Pathogen Detection includes designing, optimization and validation of PCR assays for all different kinds of applications including pathogen detection.

DNA Cloning

Our cloning services are customized to meet your specific needs. Your gene of interest can be obtained by PCR, RT-PCR or restriction digestion and cloned into any vector of your choice.

Genomic Services

16S rRNA sequencing: A common method for identifying bacterial strains is analyzing the sequence of the gene coding for 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA). 16S rRNA sequencing is also a standard tool for bacterial phylogenetic and taxonomic studies.

Credora can sequence the 16S rRNA gene from your bacterial colonies rapidly and effectively. Simply submit your bacteria, and will perform PCR amplification and Sanger DNA sequencing using in-house 16S primers or your custom PCR primers. No bacterial gDNA extraction is required.

Mutation Analysis

Mutations are genetic alterations that are acquired either in germ or non-germ (somatic) cells. They could cause various diseases and might affect the response of a patient to drug treatment. The mutation can be an insertion, deletion, mis-sense or non-sense mutation in the coding or non-coding regions. In some cases, mutation occurs at the intron-exon boundaries and affects the normal splicing of the transcript.

Mutation analysis, mutation screening, exon resequencing, and SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) discovery involve high volumes of PCR amplification and sequencing. This can exhaust an organization's resources or extend the time required to reach key conclusions. We offer flexible, customizable services to meet your specific needs.

SNP Discovery Sequencing

SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) occur every 100 to 300 bases along the human genome and account for about 90% of all genetic variations. SNPs could predispose people to disease or influence their response to a drug.

Yeast Colony Sequencing

Do you need to sequence DNA from yeast colonies for yeast genetics research? We can quickly sequence DNA from yeast colonies supplied on an agar plate. Simply send us your yeast colonies and your sequencing data will be delivered to your online account. No DNA extraction or PCR is required on your part.

They are cost effective, more accurate and sensitive than the conventional methods. Advances in molecular biology have led to an explosion in genetics. On a daily basis a gene associated with disease is identified. Scientists are laying the foundation for an exciting, advanced concept of predictive and diagnostic medical testing. Molecular diagnosis for various diseases is now used by many physicians to define the health and lifestyle management for their patients. Credora is striving to bring the Molecular diagnosis for the betterment of the people of this region.

DNA Forensics and DNA Testing Services

DNA Profiling

DNA Profiling (also called DNA testing, DNA typing, or genetic fingerprinting) is a technique employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals by their respective DNA profiles. DNA profiles are encrypted sets of numbers that reflect a person's DNA makeup, which can also be used as the person's identifier. DNA profiling should not be confused with full genome sequencing. It is used in, for example, parental testing and criminal investigation.

Paternity Test

A paternity test is a DNA analysis that determines biological fatherhood with high accuracy. There are usually two participants: the possible father and the child. The mother can participate too, typically increasing the accuracy of a positive test result from 99.99% to 99.9999 %. A negative result is always 100% certain. The applicant delivers samples of the buccal epithelium of each test participant, together with an application form and proof of payment of the analysis fee.

Forensic DNA Testing Analysis

A wide range of testing services assists law enforcement agencies, private investigators, and legal professionals in finding answers, administering justice, and ensuring a safe, secure environment for everyone. Our forensics team provides a comprehensive range of services including STR, Y-STR, mtDNA and mini-STR casework, and forensic paternity. We also offer case review and consultation services to defense attorneys who may seek a second opinion on cases previously tested by other laboratories.

Predictive Health Analytics

Predictive analytics is an area of data mining that deals with extracting information from data and using it to predict trends and behavior patterns.

Experts use predictive analysis in health care primarily to determine which patients are at risk of developing certain conditions, like diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and other lifetime illnesses. Additionally, sophisticated clinical decision support systems incorporate predictive analytics to support medical decision making at the point of care.

Prenatal Screening

Screening tests during pregnancy gives parents an earliest opportunity for detection of some abnormalities that their unborn baby might have. This allows the parents to plan appropriate care during pregnancy and childbirth, or for the parents to be offered other reproductive choices.

Newborn Screening

Newborn babies are screened even if they look healthy, because some medical conditions cannot be seen by just looking at the baby. Finding these conditions soon after birth can help prevent some serious problems, such as brain damage, organ damage, and even death.

Vitamin D Screening

Vitamin D deficiency is more common than previously believed, especially among adolescents, women, and the elderly. For example, studies have shown that more than 50% of the elderly and an equal proportion of women of any age undergoing treatment for osteoporosis have inadequate levels of vitamin D. While treatment with vitamin supplementation is easy and inexpensive, many affected individuals go undiagnosed and untreated.

Cancer Screening

Cancer screening aims to detect cancer before symptoms appear. This involves screening of cancer using Molecular method. The benefits of screening in terms of cancer prevention, early detection and subsequent treatment must be weighed against any harm.
