A microarray is an instrument that helps to detect the expression of thousands of genes at the same time. The microarray is called gene chips or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) chips because the slide...
Designing a good pair of PCR primers is probably the single most important factor for successful PCR reactions. A primer is a short, synthetic, single-stranded DNA sequence that is complementary to...
A person with a genetic mutation expresses a new or foreign protein that may or may not be harmful. Many techniques help in determining the type of protein and the reason for its expression. One of...
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is one of the advanced molecular biology techniques that offers accurate, rapid, and cost-effective diagnosis of infectious diseases. Primarily, this...
A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. This gives rise to a new genetic trait or a changed genotype. A cell or an organism that shows the effect of a mutation is called a...
