Direct sequencing from amplified bacterial and large insert cloned human or mouse genomic DNA via an improved MultiPlex PCR-based method. Includes: Preparing primers for MP-PCR; Amplification; PCR Product Clean-up; Sequencing. - [Read Direct Sequencing Using MultiPlex PCR-Based Method]
Exponentially growing cells are asynchronous with respect to the cell cycle stage. Detection of cell cycle-related events is improved by enriching the culture for cells at the stage during which the particular event occurs. Methods for synchronizing cells are provided here, including those based on morphological features of the cell. - [Read Methods for Synchronizing Cells at Specific Stages of the Cell Cycle]

The efficiency of direct cloning of PCR products can be improved by generating suitable ends on the amplified fragments. This protocol describes the strategies for generating and manipulating suitable ends on the PCR fragments. - [Read Molecular Cloning of PCR Products Protocol]
Green fluorescent protein is commonly used to monitor gene expression and protein trafficking within intact cells. The Monster Green® Fluorescent Protein is encoded by an improved synthetic version of the green fluorescent protein gene originally cloned from Montastrea cavernosa (Great Star Coral). - [Read Monster Green® Fluorescent Protein Assay]
