Applications of SKY in Cancer Cytogenetics Review - http://www.utoronto.ca/cancyto/protocols_software/cytogenetics/SKY.html

Category: Genetics and Genomics: Cancer Genetics Protocols

SKY has also been applied for the mouse genome, enabling investigators to extrapolate information from mouse models of cancer to their human counterparts. This review will address the advances that SKY has facilitated in the field of cancer cytogenetics, as well as its variety of application in the cancer research laboratories. - [Read Applications of SKY in Cancer Cytogenetics Review]

Clonality - X Chromosome Inactivation Assay Protocol - http://cgap-mf.nih.gov/Protocols/DNARNAProteomicAnalysis/DNA/DNAProtocols/Clonality.html

Category: Genetics and Genomics: Cancer Genetics Protocols

Investigators can utilize X chromosome inactivation (methylation) to determine the clonality status of a tumor or premalignant lesion in females. The technique is based on a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme and analysis of a polymorphic locus on the X chromosome. Clonal cell populations will show "loss" of the non-methylated allele after restriction digest. The assay can be performed on DNA recovered from microdissected samples. Both frozen tissue and fixed-embedded tissue can be used. - [Read Clonality - X Chromosome Inactivation Assay Protocol]

Manual Microdissection - http://cgap-mf.nih.gov/Protocols/Microdissection/ManualMicrodissection.html

Category: Primary Cell Isolation and Culture Protocols

There are several manual methods that can be used to perform tissue microdissection. Techniques using hand-held tools as well as mechanical micromanipulator-based approaches have been described. However, speed and precision are the most important parameters and any method that achieves these is adequate. Investigators should also expect to invest time initially by practicing on 10 to 20 cases to begin to feel comfortable with the technique. - [Read Manual Microdissection]

Measurement of Intracellular Ions by Flow Cytometry Protocol - https://catalog.invitrogen.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=iProtocol.unitSectionTree&treeNodeID=9E661C4C9AC9935B31A1C2087E2276A3&objectid=6674EF32EE59A37C48B4A267D733CAE2

Category: Cell Biology and Cell Culture: Flow Cytometry Protocols: Intracellular Ion Measurement Protocols

Describes flow cytometric protocols using the dyes Indo-1 AM, Fluo-3, and Fura Red AM to measure intracellular calcium concentration. Support protocols detail the use of calcium buffers to calibrate a flow cytometric calcium assay, and methods to facilitate dye loading; an alternate protocol describes the use of a spectrofluorimeter to measure intracellular calcium for those investigators without access to a flow cytometer. - [Read Measurement of Intracellular Ions by Flow Cytometry Protocol]

Vector Design Protocol for Transgenic Mice Generation

The protocol gives general considerations for the design of targeting vectors for transgenic mice. The protocol shares tips in the design of knock-out and knock-in vectors and some of their strategies for producing homologously recombined embryonic stem cells.
