Gene expression studies can monitor biological processes using a “molecular beacon” (single-stranded DNA, ssDNA), a ...

Life scientists are striving to use the information emerging or obtained from the Human Genome Project to gain insight into basic biological processes and to improve human health and disease treatment ...

Bioimaging by fluorescence microscopy is a useful technique to study the localization and movement of molecules in living cells by fluorescence. Yet, the gradual degradation of fluorescent dyes when ...

An international collaboration of researchers developed two new complementary approaches for versatile but precise light intensity measurements in fluorescence imaging systems. Accurate measurements ...

To visualize DNA or protein in gels, researchers load their samples with colorimetric- or fluorescence-emitting dyes. Typical DNA gel imagers visualize DNA intercalating dyes, such as ethidium bromide ...
