DNA Extraction from Agarose Gels Protocol. The page includes cutting out the DNA band from the gel, and describes three methods including 1) Spin-columns (Nucleic acid purification columns), 2) using Dialysis tubing (semi-permeable membrane, Visking tubing), and the 3) Paper strip method.Matt Lewis, Department of Pathology, University of Liverpool. - [Read DNA Extraction from Agarose Gels Protocol]

Pulsed electrical fields can be used to introduce DNA into a wide variety of animal cells. Electroporation works well with cell lines that are refractive to other techniques, such as calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation. But, as with other transfection methods, the optimal conditions for electroporating DNA into untested cell lines must be determined experimentally. - [Read DNA Transfection by Electroporation]
Polybrene and DMSO can be used to achieve stable transformation of several types of cells by plasmid DNA. The yield of transformants is up to 15-fold greater with Polybrene than with calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation. However, there is no difference between the two methods in the efficiency of transformation of cells by high-molecular-weight DNA. - [Read DNA Transfection Using Polybrene Protocol]
Dried droplet Sample Preparation for MALDI.The discovery of this method allowed the application of laser desorption to proteins [2]. Drying a droplet of a protein/matrix solution remains the favorite method of most MALDI practitioners. Protocol for dried - [Read Dried droplet Sample Preparation for MALDI]
Early Events in B Lymphocyte Activation Protocol- https://catalog.invitrogen.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=iProtocol.unitSectionTree&treeNodeID=9E6634190D367003ECF94AE65295FA77&objectid=6674AB8295693316922D8DFC029193A6
B cell activation can be quantitated indirectly by assaying antibody production or directly by measuring cellular changes that occur immediately after exposure to an activation signal. Provides methods for the latter (direct) approach--namely, methods for quantifying early parameters of B cell activation such as increases in intracellular ionized calcium concentration [Ca2+]I, cell size, and MHC class II-antigen expression. - [Read Early Events in B Lymphocyte Activation Protocol]
Protocol describes a method for electroporating DNA into ES cells, as well as selection methods. Pilot studies should be performed to optimize the conditions for each DNA construct. The selection method described here is one of the most complex. It involves targeting constructs in which the bacterial neomycin-resistance gene disrupts the coding sequence of the mouse gene. - [Read Electroporating DNA into Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells and Selection Methods Protocol]

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.)
