GENOME MAP
A genome map helps scientists navigate around the genome. Like road maps and other familiar maps, a genome map is a set of landmarks that tells people where they are,…
GENOME VARIATIONS
Genome variations are differences in the sequence of DNA from one person to the next. Just as you can look at two people and tell that they are different, you…
NOMe-seq (Nucleosome Occupancy and Methylome Sequencing)
NOMe-seq doesn’t involved tiny gnomes that magically tell you all the epigenetic information of a cell. It does give you some pretty magical insight that other techniques don’t though. The…
GENOME SEQUENCING
Genome sequencing is figuring out the order of DNA nucleotides, or bases, in a genome—the order of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that make up an organism's DNA. The human…
GENOMES
A genome is all of a living thing's genetic material. It is the entire set of hereditary instructions for building, running, and maintaining an organism, and passing life on to…
Molecular Beacons
Molecular beacons are structured probes that are highly sensitive, sequence specific, and are used for sequence detection in qPCR and in vitro studies. Benefits of Using Molecular Beacons Probe preserved during the…
SYBR Green qPCR Supermixes
SYBR Green qPCR supermixes are compatible with most protocols for qPCR. They are offered with a proprietary passive reference dye. In addition, SYBR Green qPCR supermixes are available with either antibody-mediated hot-start Taq or…
What are the differences between PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR, and RT-qPCR?
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a relatively simple and widely used molecular biology technique to amplify and detect DNA and RNA sequences. Compared to traditional methods of DNA cloning and…
The role of PCR in single cell analysis
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has a wealth of applications in research, but perhaps one of its most challenging roles in single cell analysis, amplifying the DNA from just a single cell,…
Colony PCR
Molecular cloning requires some method of screening colonies for the presence of an insert. Traditionally this has been done with restriction enzyme digest; however colony PCR can accomplish the same thing in less…
