Category: Cloning Protocols

Protocol describes a method for DNA fragmentation by sonication. During sonication, DNA samples are subjected to hydrodynamic shearing by exposure to brief periods of sonication. DNA that has been sonicated for excessive periods of time is extremely difficult to clone. - [Read Fragmentation of DNA by Sonication Protocol]

Category: Bacterial Cell Culture Protocols

In this protocol, bacterial cells are lysed by being subjected to short, intense treatments with ultrasound, which breaks the cell walls and shears the DNA into sizes that will not affect the viscosity of the samples. Note that this method causes some denaturation of the samples. The resulting lysate is ready for preclearing. - [Read Immunoprecipitation: Lysing Bacteria by Sonication Protocol]

Category: C. elegans Protocols

Protocol was designed to rapidly generate small scale cytosolic extracts of C. elegans for Western or IP (has not been tested for RNA work). The protocol works well for between 50 to 5000 worms and has not been extensively tested on larger a scale, though it should work. Includes: Collection; Sonication; Clearing lysate; Immunoprecipitation. - [Read Preparation of Worm Extracts by Sonication Protocol]

Category: Drosophila Protocols: Drosophila Staining Protocols

Early embryos (0-17 hours or until cuticle formation) are treated with a mixture of organic solvents, formaldehyde, and alcohols, as described here. The cuticles of late-stage embryos are usually opened by sonication. Tissues from more advanced stages of development are normally dissected by hand and then fixed and stained in a standard paraformaldehyde/detergent combination - [Read Preparing Early Whole-Mount Drosophila Embryos for Immunostaining Protocol]

Category: Drosophila Protocols: Drosophila Staining Protocols

Early and late embryos are treated with a mixture of organic solvents, formaldehyde, and alcohols. The cuticles of late-stage embryos (17-22 hours or until hatching) are usually opened by sonication, as described here. Tissues from later stages of development are normally dissected by hand and then fixed and stained in a standard paraformaldehyde/detergent combination. - [Read Preparing Late Whole-Mount Drosophila Embryos for Immunostaining Protocol]
