and BAC DNA. The mixture was incubated at 15°C for 1.5 h. The cut products were then examined on a 1.5% agarose gel for the presence of a smear between 300 and 500 bp. The obtained probes were stored ...

Learning about your genetics and ancestry is easier than ever. All you need to do is choose from the many DNA ancestry tests available online, receive your kit and send back the required DNA samples.

Blot-based hybridization assays allow newly replicated DNA from specific genomic regions to be detected and quantified. Two-dimensional (2D) gel assays separate replicating molecules on the basis ...
