Footprinting with an automated capillary DNA sequencer.
Footprinting is a valuable tool for studying DNA-protein contacts. However, it usually involves expensive, tedious and hazardous steps such as radioactive labeling and analyses on polyacrylamide sequencing gels. We have developed an easy four-step footprinting method involving (i) the generation and purification of a PCR fragment that is fluorescently labeled at one end with 6-carboxyfluorescei...
متن کاملPINT: Pathways INtegration Tool
New pathway databases generally display pathways by retrieving information from a database dynamically. Some of them even provide their pathways in SBML or other exchangeable formats. Integrating these models is a challenging work, because these models were not built in the same way. Pathways integration Tool (PINT) may integrate the standard SBML files. Since these files may be obtained from d...
متن کاملA first look at the Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer.
Oxford Nanopore's third-generation single-molecule sequencing platform promises to decrease costs for reagents and instrumentation. After a 2-year hiatus following the initial announcement, the first devices have been released as part of an early access program. We explore the performance of this platform by resequencing the lambda phage genome, and amplicons from a snake venom gland transcript...
متن کاملElectrophoretic mobility shift scanning using an automated infrared DNA sequencer.
Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is widely used in the study of sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins, including transcription factors and mismatch binding proteins. We have established a non-radioisotope-based protocol for EMSA that features an automated DNA sequencer with an infrared fluorescent dye (IRDye) detection unit. Our modification of the elec- trophoresis unit, which incl...
