Increasingly bioluminescence is becoming a preferred choice for many types of analyses. This article outlines the underlying reasons for the advantage bioluminescence brings to bioanalytical methodologies.

Gene mapping or genome mapping describes the methods used to identify the location of a gene on a chromosome and the distances between genes. Gene mapping can also describe the distances between different sites within a gene.

Abstract. Within the calanoid copepods, the bioluminescent species comprise 5–59% of the abundance and 10–15% of the biomass in the world's oceans. Most of the

In this article we give background on bioluminescent reporters and assays and their uses in research.

Genome sequencing refers to the process of determining the order of the nucleotides bases— adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine in a molecule of DNA or the genome of an organism. The methods of sequencing have

ADVERTISEMENTS: This article throws light upon the seven important methods used for DNA sequencing. The seven important methods used for DNA sequencing are: (1) Sanger’s Method (2) Maxam and Gilbert Method (3) Hybridization Method (4) Pal Nyren’s Method (5)…

Learn about the basics of molecular biology, including molecular genetics, plasmids, sequencing, and more.

The primary structure of the mitochondrial genome of the bioluminescent crustacean, Vargula hilgendorfii, the sea-firefly (Arthropoda, Crustacea, Ostracoda), has sequenced using the transposon Tn5. The genome (15,923 bp) contains the same 37 genes (two ribosomal…

This article presents data in which the psiCHECK-2 Vector, which contains two luminescent reporter genes, was used to identify the most effective shRNA for inducing RNAi of the bcr/abl gene.

Image Encryption Algorithm Based on DNA Encoding and Chaotic Maps

Thanks to the success of the Human Genome Project, 20 years ago this week, scientists can track biology and disease at a molecular level

Engineered endonucleases are a powerful tool for editing DNA. However, sequence preferences may limit their application. We engineer a structure-guided endonuclease (SGN) composed of flap endonuclease-1 (FEN-1), which recognizes the 3′ flap structure, and…
