Roadblock-qPCR: A simple and inexpensive strategy for targeted measurements of mRNA stability

Roadblock-qPCR: A simple and inexpensive strategy for targeted measurements of mRNA stability

The steadiness of mRNAs is key to figuring out expression degree and dynamics. Nonetheless, present approaches for measuring transcript half-lives (e.g. transcription shutoff) are usually poisonous or technically advanced. Right here we describe an alternate technique for focused measurements of endogenous mRNA stability that’s easy, cheap, and non-toxic. Cells are first metabolically labelled with the…

Monitoring and Surveillance of Aerial Mycobiota of Rice Paddy through DNA Metabarcoding and qPCR

The airborne mycobiota has been understudied compared with the mycobiota current in different agricultural environments. Conventional, culture-based strategies enable the research of a small fraction of the organisms current within the ambiance, thus lacking vital data. On this research, the aerial mycobiota in a rice paddy has been examined throughout the cropping season (from June…
