Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Protocol for Histone Modification Chromatin and Associated Proteins. Roderick O’Sullivan & Joost Martens. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments are routinely performed in many laboratories
around the world to examine the occupancy of proteins or chromatin modifications over particular stretches of the genome. - [Read Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Protocol for Histone Modification Chromatin and Associated Proteins]

Includes Chromatin Crosslinking, Chromatin preparation, Pre-clearing and immuno precipitation (IP), Collection,washes and elution of immune complexes, Reverse crosslinking and DNA cleanup - [Read Chromatin immunoprecipitation protocol to analyze histone modifications in Arabidopsis thaliana]
Organic solvents such as alcohols and acetone remove lipids and dehydrate cells, precipitating the proteins on the cellular architecture. Be aware that different antigens may be affected differently by the various solvents. If no previous data are available for your antigen, start with the 50/50 mixture. For tissue culture dishes, concentrations of acetone higher than 50% will destroy the integrity of the plastic. - [Read Fixing Attached Cells in Organic Solvents Protocol]
PCR polymerase costs can be high. If you are willing to work, you can produce bacteria containing the clone. It appears to produce lots of Taq and is quite stable. The proceedure takes 4 days start to (15 000 units of Taq) finish. The Taq also appears ver - [Read Home-made Taq Polymerase Purification]
Protocol for liquid culture of worms. Includes: superbroth; S- basal; worm plates; GROWING THE BACTERIA (WORM FOOD); GROWING THE WORMS; AFTER THE CULTURE HAS GROWN; PREPARING EGGS TO START SYNCHRONIZED LIQUID CULTURES. - [Read Liquid Culture of Worms Protocol]
Method to restart stuck fermentation. Includes: Select and rehydrate active dry wine yeast; activate the rehydrated yeast with nutrients and sugar; start the fermentation and add the stock wine in batches. - [Read Method to Restart Stuck Fermentation]
Long PCR Buffer, Cycle times and temperatures, Picking Primers, Hot Start Polymerases for Long PCR. Harvard-Lipper Center for Computational Genetics. Modified from Cheng et al. - [Read Reagents and Guidelines for Long PCR]
Simple method for growing Neurospora and for isolation of DNA that may be performed in two days from start to finish. The growth of mycelia in Petri plates eliminates the need for large numbers of flasks when growing many cultures for DNA isolation. - [Read Ultra-Fast Method of DNA Extraction from Neurospora Protocol]
The DNA Ligation protocol described here contains the steps required to join together using ligase enzyme both plasmid DNA and insert DNA fragments in order to create a new plasmid. This new ligated plasmid can be transformed after into competent bacteria to produce DNA for mini, midi or maxi-prep isolation.
This protocol a protocol on how to generate transfected embryonic stem (ES) cell clones. The previous protocol in this series is the Protocol for Electroporation of ES cells. The next protocol in the series is the Protocol on Disaggregation, Expansion, and Freezing of Transfected ES Clones.
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.
