The requirement of an optimal PCR reaction is to amplify a specific locus without any unspecific by-products. Therefore, annealing needs to take place at a sufficiently high temperature to allow only the perfect DNA-DNA matches to occur in the reaction. P - [Read PCR Program Design]

SAGE is a new method that has been invented at Johns Hopkins University in USA to give scientists an overview of a cell’s complete gene activity. It works by capturing RNAs, identifying them and counting them. By comparing different types of cells, the researchers hope to generate profiles that will help them understand healthy cells and what goes wrong during diseases. Includes: How SAGE works and Steps of SAGE. - [Read Serial Analysis Of Gene Expression (SAGE)]
Protocol for a simplified Arabidopsis transformation. Found that the MS salts, hormone, etc. make no difference, that OD of bacteria doesn't make much of a difference, that vacuum doesn't even make much of a difference as long as you have a decent amount of surfactant present. Plant health is still a major factor - healthy fecund plants make a big difference! With this method you should be able to achieve transformation rates above 1%. - [Read Simple Arabidopsis Transformation Protocol]
Single Nucleotide Primer Extension can be used for the analysis of methylation in a certain position. Treat DNA with bisulphite and then anneal a primer which ends immediately before the site of analysis. Dr. A. Gratchev Methods.info - [Read Singel Nucleotide Primer Extension (SNuPE)]
Protocol for slide preparation for cytogenetics. Includes: Improved cell recovery by microcentrifugation; Slide storage; "Controlled" chromosome spreading; Dropping cells from a height does not improve spreading; GTG-banding. - [Read Slide Preparation for Cytogenetics Protocol]
