Along with Emmanuelle
Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna, Feng Zhang is one of the inventors of
CRISPR-cas9 — or “CRISPR” for short — the cut-and-paste method for editing
evens that’s taken genetics by storm. via Pocket

Successful western blotting means
achieving unambiguous results, and this requires a sensitive and specific
antibody-antigen interaction. Consequently, high quality antibodies are
critical for reliable and consistent western blotting. via Pocket

- · What Do We Do with All the Chemical Elements? This Ingenious Periodic Table Shows You | Big Think
- The period table is an important but rather dry scientific tool. It lists all the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic numbers. Elements with similar behavior are grouped in the same column (called a group), with metals generally on the left a…
Purchasing a microscope camera
is one of the most daunting tasks you might have to undertake. Before you set
out to buy that camera, carefully consider your applications. Things like

Flow cytometry is a pervasive
tool to characterize just about anything in cell biology. From quantifying the
expression of surface antigens, to determining the physiological changes in
cells and everything in between, flow cytometry is as indispensa…
