Ready to kick off your genetics unit? I prefer starting with DNA and then moving onto Punnett squares and inheritance patterns. For me, it makes more sense to teach DNA first and explain what a gene actually is. If you start with inheritance and use the word “gene” or “allele,” students won’t have the background ...

Transfection is a core technique in molecular biology used to introduce foreign nucleic acids—such as DNA, RNA, or small RNAs like siRNA, shRNA, and miRNA—into eukaryotic cells. This enables researchers to manipulate gene expression and study cellular processes, disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies (1). Advances in transfection technology now support a range of nucleic acid […] The post Why mRNA Transfection Is Transforming Transient Expression Workflows appeared first on Prome...| Promega Connections

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must be faithfully copied. This staggering task happens over and over with extraordinary precision.

So, I think I may have discovered something interesting in biology! Professional scientists know this feeling all too well. Exhilarated that it looks like you might be the first person ever to know something, but worried sick that it might not be real. Also, you might be fooling yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool. And even if it is real, does it even mean something? Or did you effectively discover that hot things are not cold?| Bert Hubert's writings
And we’re back! As noted in part 1, there is the possibility I’ve discovered something interesting in biology.

The full backstory can be found in part 1 without which this installment will not make much sense.| Bert Hubert's writings
