Role of introns: Left over’s of evolution or evidence of intelligent design
Often genes are composed of coding regions called exons and [...]
The Thermo Scientific NanoDropTM 1000 Spectrophotometer
The NanoDrop is the new state of the art low volume Spectrophotometer that allows very small quantities (1 µl) of nuclei acids and proteins to be analysed rapidly, without the use of traditional cuvettes and eliminating the task of diluting samples. Watch the official NanoDrop video.
The PCR song
