Yeast colonies are suspended in complete PCR buffer and transferred to a thermal cycler for 35 cycles of PCR. The products of the amplification reaction are analyzed by gel electrophoresis. - [Read Analyzing Yeast Colonies by PCR Protocol]
Protocol describes a method for assembling aggregates between diploid embryos. If embryos from a heterozygous mutant intercross are aggregated with wild-type embryos, the resulting chimeras can be used for analyzing mutant phenotypes. - [Read Assembling Aggregates between Diploid Embryos Protocol]
Protocol for bisulfite-PCR for restriction analysis and/or sequencing. Bisulfite-PCR followed by restriction is a rapid and semi-quantitative method of analyzing DNA methylation. The PCR products are also suitable for either direct sequencing or cloning and sequencing. The most important step here is primer selection. - [Read Bisulfite-PCR for Restriction Analysis and/or Sequencing Protocol]
The protocol described in this protocol has been used principally for analyzing the Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum and trans-Golgi network but markers for other compartments (e.g.
ERGIC and endosomes) have also been analyzed. Modifications either to the gradient density range or the centrifugation conditions influence the ability of the gradient to resolve multiple compartments. - [Read Fractionation of Golgi, ER, TGN and Other Membrane Compartments in Pre-Formed Iodixanol Gradients]
Negative staining is a rapid, qualitative method for analyzing microtubule structure at the EM level. Because negative staining involves deposition of heavy atom stains, structural artifacts such as flattening of the cylindrical microtubule and opening up of microtubules into flat sheets are common. Negative staining is very useful because of its ease, rapidity and lack of requirement for specialized equipment other than that found in a regular EM facility. - [Read Negative Stain Electron Microscopy of Microtubules Protocol]
