Contributions of academic laboratories to the discovery and development of chemical biology tools.

The academic setting gives an setting which will foster success in the discovery of sure sorts of small molecule instruments whereas proving much less appropriate in others. For instance, small molecule probes for poorly understood programs, those who exploit a selected resident experience, and these whose industrial return shouldn’t be obvious are ideally suited to

Lenti-virus

How does lentivirus integrate? Gentaur sells ready to use lentiviral particles for direct endocytosis. The RNA is released and transcribed into cDNA that in the nucleus will only integrate into dividing cells. We also sell the plasmids and with HEK293T cell to make your own and titrate the quantity. Why do we use lentivirus? For

Mouse Genomic DNA

Why we use mouse genomic DNA? Mouse Genomic DNA is an universal external standard qPCR. Should we avoid repeated thaw cycles while using mouse genomic DNA? Yes the DNA will be degrade by the freeze thaw process. What is the difference between cDNA and Genomic DNA? cDNA is made from mRNA and displays no exons.
