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 ...
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 ...
Every few months we highlight a subset of the new plasmids in the repository through our hot plasmids articles. These articles provide brief summaries of recent plasmid deposits and we hope they'll make it easier for you to find and use the plasmids you need. If you'd ever like ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Behnam Nabet, a postdoctoral fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Targeted protein degradation In the Bradner and Gray labs, we synthesize compounds that enable selective removal of proteins-of-interest from the proteome. Rather than ...
Knowing where bacteria are located within their host is often key to understanding their role in both health and disease. To observe bacteria in action, researchers have developed in vivo bacterial reporters that use fluorophores and luciferases to track bacteria in real time, ...
How many times have you looked at a diagram depicting transcription, or DNA repair, or replication, or any number of CRISPR applications and thought “OK, but how does this work in the context of chromatin?” Though it’s true that adding histones and chromatin architecture to ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Clare O'Connor an Associate Professor at Boston College. National reports stress the importance of providing authentic research experiences to undergraduate students (1, 2), but educators face significant challenges in designing ...
