Protocol should be viewed as a starting point for systematic optimization of transfection mediated by lipofecting agents. Once a positive signal has been obtained from a transfected plasmid carrying a standard reporter gene, optimal conditions for transfection can be established by systematic variation of parameters such as the initial cell density, the amount and purity of DNA, the media and serum, and the time of exposure of the cells to the cationic-lipid-DNA complex. - [Read DNA Transfection Mediated by Lipofection Protocol]

Category: Plant Biology Protocols: Arabidopsis Genetics Protocols

EMS is used at concentrations that induce multiple point mutations in each plant, such that mutant alleles of a specific locus are found at a rate of ~1 in 2000-5000 M2 plants. This high rate of mutagenesis makes possible the screening of relatively few plants to find those with the phenotype of interest, a particular advantage if the screen is laborious or if only a small number of genes mutate to the required phenotype. - [Read EMS Mutagenesis of Arabidopsis Seed Protocol]

In the experiment there are three players A, B, and C. Player A gets an initial endowment of 10, player B gets 0 and player C gets 5 points. First, player A decides how many of his 10 points to transfer to B. Then, player C observes the decisions of A and gets the possibility to leave the payoffs unaffected or to punish A by deducting 3 (or 6) points from A at a cost of 1 point (or 2 points) for C.... - [Read Experiments on Parochial Altruism in Humans; Procedures and Instructions]

The liver of a rat is cannulated and perfused in situ with buffer, following which it is excised and perfused in a closed system with a collagenase solution. After a period of time the liver begins to break up, at which point it is transferred to a measuring cylinder and culture medium is added. It is then gently agitated to cause the release of cells which are subsequently filtered and allowed to settle out. The parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells form two distinct layers which can be separat - [Read The Isolation and Culture of Rat Hepatic Cells Protocol]
