Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing. View Larger Image DNA enrichment by ChIP and SOLiD™ fragment library construction Comparison of ChIP Detection Platforms Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a method used to determine the location of DNA binding sites on the genome for a particular protein of interest.
This technique gives a picture of the protein-DNA interactions that occur inside the nucleus of living cells or tissues. Determining how proteins interact with DNA to regulate gene expression is essential for fully understanding many biological processes and disease states. BGI. Tools for genealogy research. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation. Compbio.mit.edu - MIT Computational Biology Group. Comparative analysis of multiple genomes in a phylogenetic framework dramatically improves the precision and sensitivity of evolutionary inference, producing more robust results than single-genome analyses can provide.
The genomes of 12 Drosophila species, ten of which are presented here for the first time (sechellia, simulans, yakuba, erecta, ananassae, persimilis, willistoni, mojavensis, virilis and grimshawi), illustrate how rates and patterns of sequence divergence across taxa can illuminate evolutionary processes on a genomic scale. These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Gene Expression Gateway Home - Bio-Rad Laboratories. Genetically Modified Tomatoes. These GM tomatoes, however, did not meet their expectations.
Although they were approved in the US and several other countries, tomatoes with delayed ripening have disappeared from the market after peaking in 1998. At this point, no genetically modified tomatoes are being grown commercially in North America or in Europe. Genetically modified tomatoes are not approved in Europe. Applications that were submitted several years ago have since been withdrawn. Tomato puree made from GM tomatoes was a big success in the mid 90s in Great Britain. European Biotechnologist - Part 2. Bio-Rad Laboratories has recently published a paper discussing the analysis steps performed by HRM software to identify thermal profile differences and examine the effect of assay optimization techniques, temperature increments, and instrument selection on the ability to distinguish different genotypes using HRM analysis.
The authors found that the most important steps for robust HRM analysis [...] High resolution melt (HRM) analysis is a relatively new technique used in detecting small variations in DNA sequences between varying populations. Important applications of HRM include SNP analysis, genotyping and methylation analysis. Sean Taylor, Field Application Specialist, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Canada, presented a 20 minute tutorial webinar on high resolution melt analysis and how to use [...]

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression, typically by causing the destruction of specific mRNA molecules. Historically, it was known by other names, including co-suppression, post transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), and quelling. Only after these apparently unrelated processes were fully understood did it become clear that they all described the RNAi phenomenon.

"Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)" Biology Animation Library. Real Time PCR Tutorial. In real-time PCR using SYBR green binding to amplified cDNA, we are simply measuring the fluorescence increase as the dye binds to the increasing amount of DNA in the reaction tube.
We hope that this increase in fluorescence is coming from the DNA that we wish to measure but some of the signal could come from DNA other than that which we are trying to amplify. Is there any way to check that the correct fragments were amplified? One way to do some checking of the products is to do a melting curve. The real-time machine not only monitors DNA synthesis during the PCR, it also determines the melting point of the product at the end of the amplification reactions.

Transcription (genetics) Simplified diagram of mRNA synthesis and processing.
Enzymes not shown. Transcription can be reduced to the following steps, each moving like a wave along the DNA. Transcription has some proofreading mechanisms, but they are fewer and less effective than the controls for copying DNA; therefore, transcription has a lower copying fidelity than DNA replication.[2] As in DNA replication, DNA is read from 3' end → 5' end during transcription. Meanwhile, the complementary RNA is created from the 5' end → 3' end direction. In virology, the term may also be used when referring to mRNA synthesis from a RNA molecule (i.e. Orðalisti - Acetylcholine (ACh) Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology.
