Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an extremely useful technique that provides insight into protein:DNA interactions. ChIP works by using antibodies to capture protein:DNA complexes with antibodies specific to your protein(s) of interest. Once the complex is captured, it is ...
You've been following along on our journey to name our new antibody mascot, who's joining us in preparation for our upcoming affinity reagent distribution launch - and we're excited to say our long naming journey is at an end! Their name is...(drum roll, please!)...
The hardest part of any revolutionary discovery, including CRISPR, is turning potential into impact. In molecular and cellular biology, this happens through the development of tools that exploit and expand our current knowledge. The Abudayyeh-Gootenberg lab (also called the ...
What is the universal thing that unites all scientists? Curiosity? Passion? A love of learning? No. Or at least not entirely. What truly unites us all is the frustration of an experiment failing because of a small, avoidable mistake. Or worse, when you're trapped in a pattern of ...
It’s not just the antibodies that matter when you’re prepping for your experiment - there are a number of outside factors that need to be considered as well. In this post, we’ll touch on antibody storage, buffer considerations, and give just the lightest of nods towards ...
Ahem, ahem, drum roll please! It's time to announce the winners of our 2021 Deck the Lab Contest!
If you work in a lab that regularly does immunoimaging, there’s likely a large collection of antibodies in your lab. Perhaps you’re even in that mythical place where antibodies are well-organized, documented, and easy to find (though we might need to see it to believe it.) As ...
One of our favorite holiday traditions is our annual Twelve Days of CRISPR campaign! But if you missed our tweets featuring the best of CRISPR in 2021 and useful resources, fear not! You can find all of them here.
