Try out this experiment and tell us what you think in the comments section below. <B> Major concepts</B> Cells are the basic unit of life and make up all plants, animals and bacteria. Deoxyribonucleic ...

We all know that DNA is pretty amazing, but it's not something that most of us get much hands-on experience with. Even though it's in every living thing around us, we never see it, so we rarely think ...

To efficiently map traits and validate candidate genes of interest, researchers rely on high throughput DNA purification prior to next-generation sequencing. Speed and resource efficiency are key ...

DNA extraction is a very important part of medical science; it helps us study the genetics of new diseases and scientists can then make diagnostics and drugs to fight against them. This experiment can ...

When you think about scientific research, you probably envision a sterile room that houses gleaming beakers, rows of pipettes and centrifuges. But what if you could house a lab on a chip? Call it the ...

In this video I show you how to extract DNA! Then I eat it just to see what it tastes like! I take the DNA out of strawberries, kiwis and even shrimp! This is an amazing experiment that you could do ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

Traces of ancient DNA contained in old bones have spilled fascinating secrets about the past. But extracting genetic material involves a certain amount of damage to the object in question, and many ...
