Technology
Any of various processes to isolate one or more specific cell populations from a heterogeneous mixture of cells.
Technology
A process where a rotating machine exposes a specimen to centrifugal force. This process can be used to remove moisture from a specimen, to subject an organism to increased gravitational forces, or to separate the components of heterogeneous mixtures based on density differences.
Technology
A molecular genetic technique that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with massively parallel DNA sequencing to map the binding sites of DNA-associated proteins in a sample of cells. First, crosslinked protein-DNA complexes are isolated using ChIP. Next, the crosslinks are broken, the proteins are removed and the purified DNA is modified with adaptor oligonucleotides to facilitate massively parallel DNA sequencing. Following sequencing, the DNA sequences that are obtained can be mapped to their genomic locations.
Technology
A technique that utilizes immunoprecipitation to find protein-DNA interactions in a biological sample. First, the sample is treated causing the formation of protein-chromatin crosslinks. Then, the sample is sheared to separate individual protein-DNA complexes. Finally, an antibody directed against a protein of interest is applied and the protein-DNA complexes are immunoprecipitated.
Technology
Techniques for analysis of chromosomal and subchromosomal properties and structures, such as those to diagnose, classify, screen for, or manage genetic diseases and abnormalities.
Technology
Any method that extracts and purifies DNA from biological samples, which can include the proper handling of biological samples prior to nucleic acid isolation, the separation of DNA from the rest of the components in the samples, and the storage of the DNA isolates.
Technology
A molecular biology technique used to detect the interaction of a DNA binding protein with its cognate binding sequence. Labeled DNAs were reacted with crude cell extracts and the complexes are run through a non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel. The migration of the labeled DNA through the gel will be slower by being bound. This shift in electrophoretic mobility indicates functional binding between the protein and the DNA.
Technology
The process of passing a liquid or gas through a filter.
Technology
A process to measure the proximity of two fluorochromes whereby the excitation energy of one fluorochrome is released and absorbed by the second fluorochrome. It is used to study interactions and structure of macromolecules. (NCI)
Technology
An immunological procedure in which the antibodies are coupled with molecules which fluoresce under ultra violet (UV) light. This makes them particularly suitable for detection of specific antigens in tissues or on cells.
Technology
Gel electrophoresis is a method of separating large molecules (such as DNA fragments or proteins) from a mixture of similar molecules by electrophoretic filtration through a gelatinous matrix. Subject to an electric field, each molecule in the sample mixture migrates through the matrix at a different rate, depending mainly on electrical charge and size, resulting in spatial separation within the matrix of each molecular species in the sample mixture. Agarose and acrylamide in a cylindrical tube or slab gel are commonly used media for electrophoresis of proteins and nucleic acids.
Technology
The process of measuring the extent of crossovers between chromosomes as a gauge of the distance between genes.
