Because sequencing reactions catalyzed by thermostable DNA polymerasessuch as Taq are carried out at elevated temperatures, problemscaused by mismatched annealing of primers or templates richin secondary structure are greatly alleviated. - [Read Dideoxy-mediated Sequencing of DNA Using Taq DNA Polymerase Protocol]
Yeast strains may be stored indefinitely at low temperatures (-80 degrees C). Two archiving methods are presented below. In Method A , the cells are grown on a plate, while in Method B the cells are grown in liquid culture. - [Read Long Term Storage of Yeast Stocks Protocol]

Paraffin Embedding Protocol for molecular profiling. This Paraffin Embedding Protocol describes the processing of the tissues into sections following ethanol fixation. Molecular profiling (MP) is a technique that is used to visualize the global patterns of RNA expression or protein expression in various cell types and disease processes.
3' Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends RACE Using PCR Protocol. This protocol contains the steps for 3' end rapid amplification of mRNA by PCR. The first-strand cDNA is synthesized from total or poly(A+) RNA by priming from the poly-A tail of the mRNA using a oligo (dT) adaptor primer. The cDNA is then amplified via PCR using a gene-specific primer and an adaptor primer.
