San Antonio aims for spot on high-technology map

Article Abstract:

The Texas Research and Technology Foundation (TRTF) is striving to boost the San Antonio area's economic development by encouraging high-technology, biotechnology and medical research firms and institutes to locate there. Founded in 1984, TRTF relies on private contributions to supply the venture capital the lack of which has stymied the growth of high-technology in San Antonio. TRTF operates the Texas Research Park, which houses the University of Texas Health Science Center's Institute of Biotechnology and will soon house the Cancer Therapy and Research Center's Institute for Drug Development.

To complement its recently launched GelBase software package, Ultra Violet Products has introduced GelSeq

Article Abstract:

Ultra Violet Products has introduced GelSeq, a DNA sequence analysis program which provides help to researchers in ensuring the accuracy of DNA sequencing from autoradiographs and gel images. GelSeq may be used with a stand-alone package or with Ultra Violet's System 5000 gel documentation system. Films or gels are scanned to load the image into the software, which displays the image on the PC monitor. GelSeq operates in the Windows 3.1 environment and requires an IBM PC or compatible computer with at least 4MB RAM, a mouse and a VGA monitor.
