Technology
A type of high-throughput, multiplex PCR method used to determine abnormal DNA copy number changes of up to 50 genomic DNA or RNA sequences with a single pair of PCR primers. It is frequently used in the detection of genetic aberrations in tumors, and can distinguish sequences differing in only a single nucleotide.
Technology
A technique utilizing a scanning probe to image and analyze the surface of a material with atomic-level resolution.
Technology
Several related technologies for imaging and measuring surfaces on a fine scale, down to the level of molecules and groups of atoms. These technologies share the concept of scanning an extremely sharp tip (3-50 nm radius of curvature) across the object surface. The tip is mounted on a flexible cantilever, allowing the tip to follow the surface profile. When the tip moves in proximity to the investigated object, forces of interaction between the tip and the surface influence the movement of the cantilever. Various interactions can be studied depending on the specific mechanics of the probe. Specialized sensors detect and record the movements of the cantilever, providing an image with resolution at the atomic level.
Technology
A laboratory procedure that combines the sequence-specific detection aspects of FISH with the simple detection methods of immunohistochemistry. Briefly, sequence-specific probes are hybridized to cells fixed on slides and the sequestered probe is visualized by a peroxidase reaction. It has the advantage of being a less costly assay that does not require fluorescence microscopy with results that are stable over time.
Technology
A procedure used in mass spectrometry analysis. Means of delivering nonvolatile analytes into the gas phase for mass analysis. Best used on molecules which are charged in solution or readily accept a charge. Particularly well suited to the analysis of biomolecules. Can be used to probe tertiary structure and non-covalent interactions (from NCSU Mass Spectrometry Facility web site)
Technology
A physical mapping approach that uses fluorescent tags to detect hybridization of probes within metaphase chromosomes or less condensed somatic interphase chromatin. This technique can be used for identification of chromosomal abnormalities and for gene mapping.
Technology
Use of a DNA or RNA probe to detect the presence of complementary sequences in chromosomes, cells, or tissues.
Technology
A technique for the detection of specific DNA fragments that have been separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, transferred to a nitrocellulose or other type of paper or nylon membrane, and detected by hybridization and visualization with a labeled probe.
Technology
A novel karyotyping procedure which is based on the simultaneous hybridization of 24 chromosome-specific painting probes labeled with different fluorochromes or fluorochrome combinations. The measurement of defined emission spectra by means of interferometer-based spectral imaging allows for the definitive discernment of all human chromosomes in different colors. (from Schrock et al., Hum Genet 1997:101:255-62)
Technology
A laboratory procedure for the detection or identification of proteins or peptides that have been separated by gel electrophoresis and transferred onto nitrocellulose or other type of paper or nylon membrane. The proteins are then detected by reaction with enzymatically labeled or radiolabeled antibody probes.
Technology
A chromatographic separation technique based on the ability of proteins to bind specific ligands reversibly.
Technology
An electrophoresis procedure, in which a sample is introduced into a capillary tube and the components are separated by the application of high voltage. Due to the large surface to volume ratio, cooling is more efficient, allowing use of higher voltages. As a result, separation occurs more quickly and sensitivity is increased. The technique allows for separation of proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
