Purification of Bacteriophage λ Arms using Sucrose Density Gradients

Introduction Replacement vectors or substitution vectors are prepared by removing the central filler segment of phage DNA to accommodate the fragments of foreign DNA. This procedure is known as the “preparation of λ arms.” Restriction endonucleases are used to separate the two arms of phage DNA from the central stuffer fragment. The following methods are […]

Preparation of Bacteriophage λ DNA Cleaved with two Restriction Enzymes to be used as a Cloning Vector

Introduction At each end of the central stuffer fragment, a series of restriction sites arranged in opposite directions are present in replacement vectors. For instance, in EMBL3A, the order of restriction site in the left polyclonal site is SalI-BamHI-EcoRI, and that of the right polyclonal site is EcoRI-BamHI-SalI. Digestion of this type of vector with […]

Alkaline Phosphatase Treatment of Bacteriophage λ Vector DNA

Introduction Alkaline phosphatase treatment is used to suppress the background of non-recombinants while performing restriction digestion with insertion vectors containing a single cloning site or polyclonal site using a single restriction enzyme. In this method, ligated DNA is first subjected to phenol: chloroform extraction and standard ethanol precipitation, respectively. It is then treated with restriction […]

The ?-radiation and its effects on chromosomes

Introduction and Historical Perspectives Radiations have been extensively used in medical devices to look into the inner workings of the human body. Wilhelm Roentgen brought a revolution in the medical field by first developing an X-ray machine in 1895 after which, the first radiology department was set up. After the discovery of X-ray, various scientists […]

sgRNA construction and design

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology is a rapid, cheap, and efficient tool to edit genomes at a precise location. CRISPR technology has now been reduced to just two components: Endonuclease and g RNA. Endonuclease makes an incision at the target DNA molecule to be edited, and gRNA is a single-stranded synthetic 20 […]

Recombinant DNA technology (Inserting foreign DNA in the host organism)

Introduction and History Recombinant DNA molecules are developed in the laboratory by bringing together genetic materials from multiple organisms to produce new genetic combinations that are not previously found in biological organisms. These new combinations are made to benefit science, medicine, agriculture, and industry (Khan, S et al., 2016). Stanford researcher Paul Berg, 1972, ligated […]

Classical Histology: Concepts, Methods, and Applications

As an Amazon Associate, ConductScience Inc. earns revenue from qualifying purchases Introduction Histology is a routine lab technique used to evaluate the morphology and structure of cells, tissues, and organs under the microscope. Histological studies of biological samples often lead to the establishment of structure/function relationships, which may have diagnostic and prognostic value in the […]

Centrifuge Rotors: To Choose and to Maintain

As an Amazon Associate, ConductScience Inc. earns revenue from qualifying purchases Introduction Centrifugation is a laboratory technique routinely used to fractionate a given liquid mixture into single components. The basis of the technique is the application of centripetal forces to a sample by spinning it at high velocity. As a consequence, a centrifugal force originates […]
