Common sources include bacterial colonies, tissue, blood or plasma, cells, and plant material. DNA can be extracted using a kit or following a lab-developed protocol. Note that there are different ways to extract DNA, each with certain advantages a...
This makes it easier for us to extract enough DNA to see it with the naked eye. Every living thing has DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the blueprint for what makes you a human, a cat, a tree, a type of flower, etc. DNA is a molecule like a recipe for life and holds al...
Phenol is used to denature and extract proteins, while chloroform is used to extract lipids. This method can be applied to various sample types, including cells, tissues, and some bodily fluids. It is compatible with both small-scale and large-scale ...

DNA microsatellites provide plant ecologists with molecular markers precise enough to assign parentage to seeds and seedlings. This allows the exact distance and trajectory of successful pollen to be traced to characterize pollination patterns. Parentage assignment of established seedlings also allows ...
should change during the experiment. In a plant experiment, record what time of day you water your plants and how much you will give each. You should give the same quantity of water to each plant, and they should all grow in the same environment, such as sitting in a sunny window. The...
Users who only want to extract DNA from eight samples can place an 8 well PCR strip in a PCR 96 well cooling block (INTEGRA) instead of a 96 well plate. To process a higher number of samples consider using the kit for 500 reactions and choose the VIAFLO 96/384 to add reagents or...
“Tacoma Grow”). Some process the wastewater in a separate step to extract phosphorus—an essential plant nutrient and a common element in the human diet—and layer it to form round pellets, in a technique a bit like building pearls. This technology, developed by...
Here, we review the use of eDNA metabarcoding for surveying animal and plant richness, and the challenges in using eDNA approaches to estimate relative abundance. We highlight eDNA applications in freshwater, marine and terrestrial environments, and in this broad context, we distill what is known ...
Soil compaction not only imposes mechanical stress on roots, but also reduces water and nutrient absorption. The latter is due, in part, to compacted soil pores being more difficult for roots to extract water from28,33, creating water stress-like conditions. Consistent with this, our scRNA-seq...
