Protein Precipitation. Developed by: Eric Burtson. American Association of Immunologists 1995. In this lab you will separate a solution of proteins using protein precipitation. Since you will be testing the same protein mix that you used in the Gel Filtration lesson, you will pass the protein through a gel filtration column to identify which protein(s) precipitates. - [Read Protein Precipitation]
A powerful way to identify a mutation in the gene of interest and to test mutant plants for phenotypes that are predicted to result from loss of function of that gene is by PCR screening. Pools of insertion lines are screened using one primer corresponding to the gene of interest and one primer corresponding to the end of the insertion element. The synthesis of a product indicates the presence of an insertion in the gene of interest. - [Read Screening DNA Pools for T-DNA Insertions in Arabidopsis Genes Protocol]
Describe the current efforts to identify and characterize the large number of SNP's required and discuss the practicalities of association studies for the identification of genes involved in complex traits. - [Read Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms as Tools in Human Genetics]
Protocol for the subcloning of Yeast artificial chromosome into phage lambda. To subclone the large insert fragment of human DNA contained within a YAC into a bacteriophage lambda vector. The subclones are 15 to 23 kb in size, and can be used to identify new polymorphic markers from a known region of the genome, to map a specific locus, and/or to screen other libraries. - [Read Subcloning of Yeast Artificial Chromosomes into Phage Lambda Protocol]
This protocol a protocol on how to generate transfected embryonic stem (ES) cell clones. The previous protocol in this series is the Protocol for Electroporation of ES cells. The next protocol in the series is the Protocol on Disaggregation, Expansion, and Freezing of Transfected ES Clones.
