CRISPR has greatly enhanced the ability of scientists to make genomic alterations, bringing about a revolution in genome engineering, with new techniques rapidly being developed. Performing a CRISPR experiment requires delivery of, at minimum, two components: the Cas9 protein ...
In this episode of the Addgene Podcast, we introduce you to the Journal of Emerging Investigators, an open-access journal that enables high school students to publish peer-reviewed scientific research. You’ll meet some of the folks behind the journal and hear from a fantastic ...
Researchers express genes of interest from plasmids in order to study gene function or to engineer cells for specific purposes. Unfortunately, plasmid copy numbers vary within cell populations and over time resulting in variable gene expression that can impact observed ...
When you think about going to a scientific conference, you may think about sitting amongst a sea of chairs listening to talks all day. But nope, not at the American Society for Microbiology 2018 Microbe meeting. Soon after I arrived, I was looking through a paper-based, ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Joachim Goedart, an assistant professor at the Section of Molecular Cytology and van Leeuwenhoek Centre for Advanced Microscopy (University of Amsterdam). GFP is the most popular, most widely used genetically encoded fluorescent probe. ...
You’ve spent days and weeks thinking of an amazing project. You’ve written your protocols, designed your experiments, and prepared your reagents. You’re going to engineer the best thing since CRISPR; you are ready to clone! But...how?
Sometimes it feels like DNA and protein get all the attention.There are numerous ways to detect DNA-protein interactions or to analyze chromatin states (CHIP-seq, FAIRE-seq, Cut & Run) and to detect protein-protein interactions (yeast-two hybrid, Co-IP, BioID), and that’s ...
