How CRISPR lets you edit DNA
VideoFrom the smallest single-celled organism to the largest creatures on Earth, every living thing is defined by its genes. With recent advancements, scientists can change an organism’s fundamental features in record time using gene editing tools such as CRISPR. But where did this medical marvel come from and how does it work? Andrea M. Henle examines the science behind this new technology.
'109' cDNA kits from Oxford Nanopore
VideoOxford Nanopore’s long-read cDNA sequencing solutions allow researchers to sequence millions of whole transcripts end-to-end in single reads. This enables users to simultaneously perform accurate isoform-level transcriptome characterisation, and differential gene expression profiling without any of the compromises on cost, quantitation, computational or workflow complexity required to achieve this on other short or long read sequencing platforms.

Genetics and Mendelian Experiments – Monohybrid and Dihybrid Crosses
VideoCrosses in genetics can be presented theoretically in more than one ways. One of the most simple methods of presenting a Cross is using the Punnett Square method. The technique has several advantages, especially when it comes to complex calculations of Dihybrid crosses. Want to know how the technique and Dihybrid cross work? Watch this video to know about the two interesting concepts.
