DNA extraction from plant tissues, such as leaves, requires the breakdown of the rigid cell wall either by chemical, enzymatic, mechanical means, or some combination of these three methods.

Plasmid DNA isolation from bacterial cells is an often-repeated task. Automating this process reduces errors and increases lab throughput.

Scientists have recovered genetic material from a skull found in northeastern China, which they say reveals the most complete ...

RNA sequencing allows scientists to study the expression of genes in a cell. Since messenger RNA (mRNA) is generated from a DNA gene, that information can be used to identify the original gene ...

It is known that when genes are switched on, parts of the DNA sequences in the cell nucleus are copied into shorter string-like molecules, RNA, that deliver the molecules essential for survival ...

Gabriella Ngang, of Farmington Hills, is one of three in Michigan to take part in a clinical trial of a new sickle cell ...

The Ionic ® Cells to Pure DNA Low Input Kit consists of six chips and a reagent set with all necessary enzymes and buffers to perform DNA extraction from 48 samples.

New additions provide genomics researchers with improved extraction methods for ultra HMW DNA, with reduced time and increased purity, from a wide variety of biological samples IPSWICH, Mass., Nov. 10 ...

Metagenomics, an advanced DNA sequencing technique, enables the direct extraction and in silico (or computer-simulated) characterization of genetic material from mixed microbial populations at ...

These enzymes sequentially degrade the cell wall and lyse the tissue (35 or 52°C) then protein is digested (75°C). Another rise in temperature causes the tube to shrink, pushing the lysate through a ...
