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 ...
Transcription, translation, and prone to degradation – those are the words that describe RNA! Double stranded? Well, that’s just for DNA – right?
This post was contributed by guest blogger, Robert Orr, who recently received a Ph.D. in Biology and Biotechnology from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. What is RNAi? The loss-of-function (LOF) experiment functions as the building block of our understanding of complex biological ...
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 ...
