Plasmid DNA isolation is an important technique in molecular biology, however, achieving effective high-throughput automation of this method has proven to be challenging. Analytik Jena and SynbiCITE ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

Let's face it, we are a results-driven society. Too focused on the outcome, people don't often think about the "how." For instance, did you think about "how" you got to work this morning or did you ...

Researchers have developed a new method to prepare bone powder for ancient DNA extraction. The method outperformed previous techniques of decontaminating ancient bones. Researchers from Max Planck ...

Most procedures for extracting DNA from general substrates involve manipulations that reduce yields and expose the sample to potential contamination. Additionally, most methods also require ...

Ancient DNA (aDNA) research, or paleogenomics, extracts and analyzes genetic material from the remains of ancient organisms, ...

Preserving DNA in biological samples has long posed a challenge for researchers, but the process may be about to get a lot ...

Once an antibody latches on to a pathogen, broadly neutralizing antibodies inactivate it (as their name implies). This is ...
