Plasmid DNA isolation from bacteria is a vital molecular biology method used to create template DNA for preferred downstream reactions. Plasmid isolation approaches are basic; however, high-throughput ...

This method uses revolutionary “dipstick” technology. The protocol involves a tissue sample that's ground up and the dipstick, made of wax-coated filter paper, is inserted, almost immediately ...

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 ...

Quality food and its effect on health are becoming more important to customers. Together with food scandals of the recent past, this pushes the food industry to make their products more transparent.

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

A spider on the Canary Islands lost half its DNA but gained more genetic variety. Scientists say this changes how we ...

Collectively, populations of Acanthocyclops vernalis, a species complex of freshwater copepods, are remarkably similar as to morphology and DNA content, despite variability in chromosome number.
