Speed Time to Results by Incorporating Flow Cytometry into the CRISPR‑Cas9 Gene Editing Workflow
The power to edit a gene is the power to change its function, and with it the biology of a cell. From generating novel cell lines and better animal models for the discovery and preclinical phases of therapeutic research to actually creating a therapeutic itself, CRISPR gene editing is allowing science to advance rapidly. See how enrichment and cell sorting can help generate edited cells faster and more reliably.
Key Steps to Ensure Optimized and Reproducible qPCR Experiments
Real-time PCR is a common and easy-to-adopt technology. By keeping a few simple steps in mind as you design and run your experiments you can ensure high-quality, reproducible data.
Parallel Analysis of RNA and Protein Expression Using SingleShot™ Cell Culture Lysates
Comprehensive and effective gene expression studies evaluate both transcriptional and translational regulation. A streamlined protocol was developed for the parallel analysis of mRNA and protein levels using a single lysate produced from cultured cells.
A Semi-Automated Quantitative PCR Approach to Assess Differential Anti-Apoptotic Gene Expression Patterns Associated with Prostate Cancer Progression
Gene expression analyses become complicated and extremely time consuming when large numbers of genes need to be analyzed. Here we present a semi-automated qPCR workflow with reduced setup and processing times using Bio-Rad’s PrimePCR™ Panels and CFX Automation System II Plate Handler.
Droplet Digital™ PCR Tips & Tricks: ddPCR™ Assay Design
The webinar discusses tips and tricks used in Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) assay design. Topics covered include the availability of commercial PrimePCR™ ddPCR Assays…
Ultra-Sensitive Quantification of Genome Editing Events Using Droplet Digital PCR
Genome editing using tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN has gained enormous popularity in recent days due to their ability to create precise deletions or insertions. However when the frequency of these gene edits are really small, an ultrasensitive method like ddPCR™ is needed for accurate quantification. This technote explains how Droplet Digital™ PCR is used for the detection of HDR and NHEJ alleles generated using CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN editing systems.
Get Published! 10 Tips for Getting Published Successfully
When you have finished all your experiments and have the paper ready in your head, you need to consider several factors before sending it for publication. Here are some tips that Bio-Rad’s PrimePCR™ PCR Primers and Assays group put together for getting the paper published successfully.
High Quality Gene Expression from Precious Samples
— A Simplified Workflow
Obtaining enough starting material to complete multiple gene expression experiments can be challenging when working with precious and limited samples. Find out how Mark Kibschull of the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto determines pluripotency and differentiation of limited human embryonic stem cells using Bio-Rad’s SingleShot Cell Lysis Kit, PreAmp Supermix, and PrimePCR validated primer panels. This simplified workflow allows for the gene expression analysis of hundreds of genes from as little as 100 human embryonic stem cells, and without the cumbersome step of isolating and purifying RNA.
Too Many Questions, Too Little Sample: Developing a Real-Time PCR Workflow for Monitoring Gene Expression in Limited Samples
Traditional real-time PCR workflows often limit the number of genes that can be studied, especially when sample amounts are small. A new workflow now allows Mark Kibschull of the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto to track the expression of hundreds of genes using a fraction of the starting material required by traditional methods.
