  • Do you need to learn or refresh your molecular biology theory and lab bench skills?

    The Micromon Recombinant DNA Techniques Course is running again this year, as it has for over 25 years. Have you been out of the lab for a while? Have a scientific background, but not that familiar with molecular biology? Want to learn some of the basic techniques and theory? Join us for this week-long intensive training course.

    Hands-On Lab-Based Excercises:

    The following applications are covered in the practical laboratory work spanning 30 hours of the workshop.
    • Cleavage and Ligation of Plasmid DNA
    • Transformation of Bacterial Cells
    • Preparation and Purification of Plasmid DNA
    • Restriction Enzyme Mapping
    • Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
    • Recovery of DNA from Agarose Gels
    • Preparation of Probes
    • DIG-based Southern Blotting and Hybridisation
    • Induction of Fusion Protein Production
    • Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis and Western Blotting
    • Nucleic Acid Extraction
    • Reverse Transcription and PCR
    • Quantification of DNA and RNA by Bioanalysis
    • Real-time PCR (qPCR)
    • DNA Sequencing and Computer-aided Analysis

    Lecture Series:

    The following broad topics are covered in a series of 10 lectures throughout the week
    • Introduction to Microbiology, DNA and Molecular Biology,
    • Basic Cloning Requirements
    • Gene Cloning Techniques
    • Molecular Hybridisation (Northern, Southern and Western)
    • Construction and screening of Genomic and cDNA Libraries
    • Restriction Fragment Mapping
    • Design and use of Oligonucleotide Primers

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
