PCR—the workhorse of modern molecular biology—is charging forward using both conventional and digital methods to explore single cells and even single molecules. Nathan Blow reports. In late ...
PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...
Figure 1: Amplification of complex gene libraries by conventional PCR and emulsion PCR. Figure 2: Ethidium bromide–stained agarose gels reveal the absence of size competition and chimeric produc ...
1. Prepare a 40 ml 1 % agarose gel in 0.5X TBE, containing 0.5 µg/ml ethidium bromide. Each gel will be shared by 2 groups on the same bench. 3. Each group will load PCR and control samples on one ...
As a Bucknell cell biology/biochemistry major, you'll use leading-edge equipment and techniques — like molecular cloning, PCR amplification and cell culture — that you otherwise might not touch until ...
When the first thermal cyclers for the polymerase chain reaction came out in the 1980s, they were as expensive as a market driven by grant money could make them. Things haven’t got much better ...
Oct. 11, 2024 — Researchers have developed a new method to recreate a robust and functional human immune system in mice using mononuclear cells from the cord blood. This new kind of mice, that ...
