Choosing the right labeling method for your hybridization experiment. Includes: Homogeneous labeling methods for DNA; Homogeneous labeling methods for RNA; Stability of probe-target interaction; Nonradioactive labeling of oligonucleotides; Double-stranded versus single-stranded probes. - [Read Choosing the Right Labeling Method for your Hybridization Experiment]
The standard protocol for in situ hybridizations in plants still involves fixing fresh tissue, embedding the tissue in wax, sectioning with a microtome and detection of the transcripts of interest using labeled RNA-probes. This protocol concentrates only on nonradioactive methods, as they are easy to perform, very sensitive and even faster than techniques involving radioisotope labels. - [Read Molecular and Biochemical Analysis of Arabidopsis Protocol]
Protocol describes the purification, quantification, andsubsequent sequencing of amplified DNA fragments using PCR.Excess nucleotides are removed from the initial PCR productsusing spun columns, and the products are quantified using fluorometry. - [Read Nonradioactive Cycle Sequencing of PCR-Amplified DNA Protocol]
The protocol given makes the method of in situ hybridization easier, faster, more reliable, and available to anyone who can operate a microscope. Includes: Labeling the hybridization probe; Preparation and denaturation of polytene chromosomes
from Drosophila, Chironomus, or other species; Hybridization and detection. - [Read Protocol for Nonradioactive In Situ Hybridization to Polytene Chromosomes with a DIG-labeled DNA]
