Western Blotting Summary - BioTechniques
WEBWestern blotting (or immunoblotting) is a well-established biochemical technique that detects specific proteins in complex samples and has applications from basic research to the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Western blotting can be used to determine quantity, molecular weight and post-translational modifications of proteins and can ...

Next-generation antibody therapeutics - BioTechniques
WEBThe success of monoclonal antibodies as therapeutic modalities and improvements in antibody engineering technology have led to the further development of antibodies over the last few decades, resulting in the next generation of antibody-based therapeutics with which to tackle a litany of human diseases, including cancer. This next generation includes bi-specific antibodies, antibody–drug ...
What is Western Blotting? The Story of the Western Blot
WEBJul 18, 2018 · The technique involves the identification and characterization of DNA-binding proteins using DNA probes (Southern) and protein blotting (western) and was first described in 1980. This method was published before the western blot. Yet, it still alludes to it in its name, reaffirming the popularity of the western blot.
T2T-CHM13 – the complete human genome sequence
WEBJun 11, 2021 · The new sequence – named T2T-CHM13 – was made possible through combining the advantages of new, competing long-read technologies from Pacific Biosciences (CA, USA) and Oxford Nanopore (UK), which increased the length of DNA accurately scannable at one time from a few hundred base pairs to 20,000. The longer pieces are – like a child’s ...
How Early Life Thrived Without Oxygen - BioTechniques
WEBJan 11, 2017 · For a couple billion years, our planet’s gassy shell contained water vapor, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. During these eons, water vapor condensed and formed vast oceans—flowing nurseries with the right conditions for early life. Even so, the absence of free oxygen in the air would not support life as we see it today.
Study Confirms We Do Not Have a Lizard Brain - BioTechniques
WEBSep 13, 2022 · No, we don’t have a ‘lizard brain’. Despite reptiles and mammals having gone through hundreds of millions of years of separate evolution, researchers identify a core set of neuron types present in both brains. A mere 320 million years ago, early tetrapods ventured out of the water and onto land, marking a turning point in vertebrate ...
