Article - Streamlining the RNA Extraction and Purification Workflow
Any research project that ostensibly starts with a sample of purified RNA—such as RNA-seq and RT-PCR—inevitably begins earlier, with the process of obtaining the RNA from tissue or isolated cells. But extracting and purifying RNA from that important starting sample is no easy task. RNA is an unstable molecule that easily degrades unless care is taken to preserve it during the process of extraction. Further purification removes contaminants, DNA, and other unwanted molecules to obtain high-quality RNA samples needed for the best results in downstream applications. This article looks at optimized reagents, kits, and workstations that researchers rely on to streamline workflows for RNA extraction and purification.

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...09-26-2023, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM
