This protocol describes dissection of yeast tetrads. Tetrad analysis is useful for linkage studies and for constructing strains for genetic and biochemical experiments. - [Read Tetrad Dissection Protocol]
The basis of this test is that a cytotoxic chemical (regardless of site or mechanism of action) will interfere with the normal motility of the protozoan, Tetrahymena thermophila, in culture. The degree of interference of motility as compared to control cultures, related to the concentration of the test compound, provides an indication of toxicity. - [Read Tetrahymena Thermophila Ocular Irritancy Test]

Protocol describes how to amplify a segment of double-stranded DNA in a chain reaction catalyzed by a thermostable DNA polymerase. It is the foundation for all subsequent variations of the polymerase chain reaction. - [Read The Basic Polymerase Chain Reaction Protocol]
The cell-attached capacitance recording technique is a powerful technique that has been successfully used to resolve single vesicle fusion and fusion pore conductance. This technique, however, has not been applied to synapses because of the difficulty in accessing release sites. Here, we developed a technique to expose release sites in a large nerve terminal, the calyx of Held, which contains clear-core glutamatergic vesicles. - [Read The Cell Attached Capacitance Recording Technique]

The cytotoxic effect of chemicals upon cells in culture is measured by the change in total cell protein arising from the inhibition of cell proliferation (Kenacid Blue R dye binding method). - [Read The Frame Cytotoxicity Test Kenacid Blue]
The liver of a rat is cannulated and perfused in situ with buffer, following which it is excised and perfused in a closed system with a collagenase solution. After a period of time the liver begins to break up, at which point it is transferred to a measuring cylinder and culture medium is added. It is then gently agitated to cause the release of cells which are subsequently filtered and allowed to settle out. The parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells form two distinct layers which can be separat - [Read The Isolation and Culture of Rat Hepatic Cells Protocol]

Two distinct modes of cell death, apoptosis and necrosis, can be distinguished on the basis of differences in
morphological, biochemical, and molecular changes occurring in the dying cells. Report the development of flow cytometric techniques that permit concomitant detection of apoptosis and cellular DNA content or BrdU content analysis. - [Read The Use of Flow Cytometry for Concomitant Detection of Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Analysis]
A Single Stranded Plasmid DNA Isolation Protocol describing the production and isolation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using bacteriophagemid-containing bacteria and helper phage. Infection of the host cells with helper phage allows for packaging of ssDNA into bacteriophage. The ssDNA can then be isolated from phage particles.
DNA microarrays are an ordered arrangement of DNA molecules complementary to genes of interest that are "spotted" by robotic equipment onto a glass slide substrate. The expression of genes in cells can be monitored with microarrays by preparing cDNA from the mRNA of cells of interest and measuring the hybridization to the microarray. This protocol describes the labeling of genomic DNA for use as a probe for hybridization to the cDNA spotted on the array.
Tubulin is polymerized into microtubules by incubating tubulin at 37°C with GTP. A nucleation seed is added when the purpose is to assay microtubule elongation. Tubulin can also be polymerized for the purposes of recycling the tubulin or labeling the microtubules with fluorescently labeled tubulin. Based on the protocol by Timothy Mitchison of Harvard University.
This Microarray Protocol Preparation of Fluorescent DNA Probes from Human mRNA protocol describes the production of probes labeled with the fluorescent dyes, Cy3 and Cy5, following the synthesis of cDNA from human mRNA and the hybridization of the probes to DNA microarrays.
