Insights into qPCR: Protocol, Detection Methods, and Analysis
Nov 8, 2023 · RT-PCR vs. qPCR. Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) is often confused with real-time PCR. RT-PCR utilizes a reverse transcriptase enzyme to convert ribonucleic acid (RNA) into complementary DNA (cDNA). 1 When combined with qPCR, the method is called reverse transcription real-time quantitative PCR . 3 RT-qPCR is a powerful tool because it enables researchers to measure gene expression of ...

The Cre- loxP System: A Powerful Tool in the Genetic Toolbox
Dec 4, 2023 · Sternberg pondered about the underlying mechanism; he suspected that there must be a genetic hotspot for recombination located at the terminal ends of the linear genome to facilitate plasmid cyclization. 1 . The genesis of Cre-loxP recombinationConsistent with his hypothesis, Sternberg’s experiments revealed a small fragment of P1 DNA at the end of the genetic map that was likely responsible ...
How Many Genes Do Humans Have? | TS Digest | The Scientist
Apr 1, 2024 · To determine how many genes are in the human genome, researchers first needed to produce a complete genomic sequence. The Human Genome Project (HGP), spanning between 1990-2003, was a publicly funded initiative led by an international consortium of researchers in order to comprehensively study DNA and …
Infographic: The Cre-lox System Explained
Dec 4, 2023 · C re-loxP recombination allows scientists to excise, insert, or invert specific DNA segments with unprecedented accuracy. 1,2 This works through two key components: a Cre recombinase and loxP sequence recognition sites. The Cre enzyme identifies pairs of loxP sites (arrowheads), which flank (flox) the DNA, and catalyzes reciprocal DNA recombination between the two sites to excise a small piece ...

May 28, 2024 · UNIVERSE 25: John Calhoun crouches within his rodent utopia-turned-dystopia that, at its peak, housed approximately 2,200 mice. Calhoun was studying the breakdown of social bonds that occurs under extreme overcrowding, following up on his earlier discovery of the learned "behavioral sink" phenomenon in rats. 1
