Van Andel Institute scientists have developed a new extraction protocol for RNA-seq and metabolomic analysis, offering a more complete picture of cellular activity than either technique on its own.

The extraction of high‐quality RNA from plant tissues is a critical prerequisite for gene expression studies and other molecular analyses. Over the past decades, researchers have refined methods to ...

This can give researchers vital information about the function of genes. For example, the transcriptome can highlight all the tissues in which a gene of unknown function is turned on, which might ...

RNA and DNA extraction kits take formalin-fixed tissue samples by storm, enabling superior quality and yields. Researchers using standard extraction protocols that heat samples to eliminate ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...
