fast Protocols

Category: Protein Protocols: Protein Quantitation Concentration Protocols

Absorbance assays are fast and convenient, since no additional reagents or incubations are required.  No protein standard need be prepared.  The assay does not consume the protein.  The relationship of absorbance to protein concentration is linear.  Because different proteins and nucleic acids have widely varying absorption characteristics there may be considerable error, especially for unknowns or protein mixtures. - [Read Absorbance Assay 280 nm]

Category: Cytogenetics Protocols: DIG Biotin Labeled Probe Protocols

Protocol describes here a high sensitivity indirect detection procedure for DIG-labeled hybridization probes. The procedure uses the components of the HNPP Fluorescent Detection Set to form a fluorescent precipitate of HNPP (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid-2’-phenylanilide phosphate) and Fast Red TR at the site of hybridization. Includes: In situ hybridization with DIG-labeled probes; Detection of DIG-labeled probes; Fluorescence microscopy. - [Read DNA In Situ Hybridization with an Alkaline Phosphatase-Based Fluorescent Detection System]

Category: Nucleic Acid Modification Protocols: DIG Biotin Labeled Probes Protocols

Protocol describes a high sensitivity indirect detection procedure for DIG-labeled hybridization probes.  The procedure uses the components of the HNPP Fluorescent Detection Set to form a fluorescent precipitate of HNPP (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid-2’-phenylanilide phosphate) and Fast Red TR at the site of hybridization.  This procedure can be used to detect single copy sequences as small as 1 kb on human metaphase chromosomes.

Category: Plant Biology Protocols: Plant Genetics Protocols

Microsatellite markers, also referred to as STMS (SequenceTagged Microsatellite Sites) or STR (Short Tandem Repeats) are widely used as molecular markers for intraspecific genotyping, molecular mapping and breeding purposes. The method described is an efficient,fast and relatively inexpensive way to obtain microsatellite markers without post-cloning selection methods. So far, the method has been successful in onion (Allium cepa L.), a plant with a large genome and for pathogenic fungi. - [Read Enrichment for Microsatellite Sequences in Onion (Allium cepa L.)
