The CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins) system is a revolutionary genome editing tool in molecular biology. It enables precise modification […]
Cre-lox recombination is a genetic engineering technique used to manipulate DNA in living organisms. It involves the enzyme Cre recombinase, which recognizes specific DNA sequences […]
Taq DNA polymerase is a heat-resistant enzyme derived from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus. It is widely used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) due to […]
Southern blotting is a molecular biology technique used to detect specific DNA sequences in a sample. It involves digesting DNA, electrophoresis, transferring the DNA to […]
pBR322 is a well-known plasmid DNA used in molecular biology and biotechnology. It was one of the first plasmids developed for cloning and genetic engineering. […]
A TI (tumour-inducing) plasmid is a type of circular DNA molecule found in certain strains of the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. It plays a crucial role […]
Homology modelling, also known as comparative modelling, is a computational technique in structural biology. It predicts the 3D structure of a protein based on the […]
Genetic markers are specific DNA sequences or variations that serve as identifiable points on a person’s or organism’s genome. They are used in genetic research, […]
DNA barcoding is a molecular technique that uses a short, standardized DNA sequence from a specific gene to identify and classify species. It helps scientists […]
