Hey Everyone! I was wandering around checking the latest news and look what I’ve found; according to
April’s issue of Cold Spring Harbor Protocols includes instructions for Rapid Coomassie Blue Staining of Protein Gels. This method is an adaptation of the conventional Coomassie staining protocol described in Staining Proteins in Gels with Coomassie Blue. Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250 (CBR-250) is the most commonly used dye for visualizing proteins because of [...]

Kevin Campbell, Ph.D., professor and head of molecular physiology and biophysics at the UI Carver College of Medicine, has received a $517,814 grant from the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) to continue his research on muscle biology.
Campbell, who also is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, will study muscular dystrophies caused by defects in a cellular [...]

Forty one thousand by my last count Many seem to carrying out identical functions . If we knock out one , another one compensates . This makes it very confusing to elucidate the role of each . gene Why bother with this work then Well if we can figure out what each rice gene does this information can be used to develop new rice varieties with useful properties such as tolerance to flooding or resistance to disease In our new paper we report a method to efficiently overcome the obstacle of gene redundancy by combining information on gene expression data with mutant phenotypes . We first developed a 45K oligo-microarray PLoS One in press and used it to examine genes expressed in the light vs . the dark . We then screened for rice lines with mutations in the strongly light-induced genes . This analysis effectively provided candidate functions for genes of previously unknown .
