Jonathan Weissman at the University of California, San Francisco wants to know how cells fold proteins into the right shapes, and he knocks down genes to find out. For that he uses massive RNA ...

This Proven Technology Continues To Find Its Niche in the Modern Molecular Toolkit The advent of microarray technology has a much longer history than many realize. Ask any scientist “What is a ...

Progress in biology is driven in part by technology, and periodically a new technology enters the scene that radically transforms laboratory investigation. When such landmark technologies first appear ...

Small molecule microarrays allow screening of biomolecules such as peptides and carbohydrates. By immobilizing these small molecules on a microarray, interactions can be quickly assessed through a ...

Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) uses mRNA from a sample to create complementary DNA (cDNA) fragments for amplification and sequencing using high-throughput sequencing technology. Credit: ...
