An oldie but a goodie — a phrase used to refer to something that has fallen out of fashion but is still useful and most importantly, effective. In the research world, there is a myriad of tools this could be applied to. When it comes to altering gene expression, CRISPR ...
These days, it hardly seems like we finish writing about one dual CRISPR-transposon system before another exciting new advance emerges! The programmability and targeting power of CRISPR combined with the large sequence capacity of transposons open whole new worlds to explore. ...
Every few months we highlight some of the new plasmids, antibodies, and viral preps in the repository through our Hot Plasmids articles.
Purifying plasmid DNA from bacterial cultures is a core protocol in molecular biology. And whilekit-free plasmid purification is always an option, let’s be honest — kits are quick, easy, and don’t involve phenol-chloroform.
I fell in love with biology because of an image that was honestly quite boring.
Lentiviral vectors have been a staple in molecular biology for over three decades. Widely used across various research applications, they have become indispensable tools for manipulating cells and organisms. They can be used for a variety of research purposes
Nobody’s perfect! This is a platitude I’m sure we have all heard. It’s a truth that extends to both people and the tools we use. Scientists utilize an array of tools that rely on DNA amplification and manipulation to produce and edit plasmids. These are prone to error — both ...
