Kevin McKernan's company Medicinal Genomics announced that it has a draft assembly of the marijuana genome , reports Bloomberg. The data is to be posted to the Amazon EC2 cloud. According to Nature's News blog , the Cannabis sativa genome is estimated to be about 400 million bases, or three times that of Arabidopsis thaliana . McKernan, who was previously at Life Technologies, started Medicinal Genomics "to find ways to maximize the cannabis plant's therapeutic benefits and minimize its psychoactive effects," Bloomberg says. "This is the beginning of a more scientific approach to the genetics of the species," adds Richard Gibbs from Baylor College of Medicine. "This is not really about marijuana; it's about pharmacology." And, as Nature's News blog notes, the pot samples were prepared for sequencing at a lab in Amsterdam.

PerkinElmer Inc. has entered into a new supply agreement with Switzerland’s Roche for distribution of the NimbleGen CGX microarray workflow the two developed together. Starting in January of 2012, Waltham-based PerkinElmer will assume responsibility from Roche for sales, service and support of the CGX array workflow for most countries outside of the U.S., according to a release. Roche will still sell the cytogenetic testing system in the U.S. and other select markets. The two companies started working together on a cytogenetics array workflow in 2009. The NimbleGen CGX array workflow uses microarray technologies developed by Roche with the cytogenetic-focused array design and analysis software from Signature Genomics, which was acquired by PerkinElmer  in May of 2010. So far this year, PerkinElmer has been on an acquisition tear, acquiring at least four companies since the spring. In June, the company  bought London-based Dexela Limited , a provider of X-ray detection t...
