We have been
looking at ways to identify genes that are regulated by FGFR3, specifically in
the growth plate. To do so, we are working on a modified version of a technique
called as SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment). This method is typically used to
screen for DNA aptamers/sequences that are preferentially bound by a protein/ligand
of interest. Briefly, a library of DNA sequences is generated which contains at
least some DNA sequences that will potentially bind the protein of
interest. The DNA sequences and the
protein of interest are incubated together to let the protein bind to those DNA
that present a preferred sequence for the protein to bind. The protein bound to
the DNA is then isolated through several wash steps, and finally the specific
DNA that was bound to the protein is identified by regular sequencing.

ReplyDeleteThe need of the day is we need to makes our life in such a manner by which we feel glad and unwind about it rather than other feel unwinding about our life as it is our life yet not the life of other's.
ReplyDeleteSelex to identify gene targets is nice one post.If you guys want to learn how to write waiver letter just follow http://www.waiverwriting.com/proper-sample-of-waiver-letter/.Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteGreat information, They end up being more materialistic or in some setting one may state that they advance toward getting to be bitterer in their life and this http://www.diversitystatement.net/help-writing-personal-statement-of-diversity/diversity-statement-law-school-writing-service/ site help us to improvment of our skill. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a nice class of my life. I got a best lesson in my life. I love to learn every day. I got another one: learn more click to read thats really nice too.
ReplyDeleteThese information really help us in our medical side. The students who are very interested in this kind of blogs. They can also write personal statement by having this site.

The gene target should have been identified perfectly as the result of those gene fact could give a proper answer to all. best ideas here for your help and hope you'll love it.
