How do we taste or smell odors?
The taste of sugars amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, and proteins “Analytical Services” Taste and smell are chemical senses that give us humans and many animals information about the chemical composition that surround us and are part of our nearest environment. … Read More ›
Are viruses hiding within us?
Recent research results indicate that viral sequences are part of us. Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) or endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs) have been identified in eukaryotic genomes including the human genome. The findings revealed the enormous scale of the invasion of… Read More ›
RNA FISH can be used to visualize subcellular locations of RNA or RNA-RBP complexes including the location of noncoding RNAs !
RNA FISH allows the identification and localization of noncoding RNAs in cells ! Ribonucleic Acid Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (RNA FISH) is a visualization technique that allows simultaneous detection, localization, and quantification of individual RNA molecules at the subcellular level….

What are Long or large non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)?
Long or large non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding sequence transcripts ! . Long non-coding RNAs are non-protein coding sequence transcripts that contain more than 200 nucleotides. The size of these RNA molecules distinguishes them from small regulatory RNAs such… Read More ›
What are MicroRNAs and what do they do?
MicroRNAs are small non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules consisting of approximately 21 to 22 nucleotides that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression in metazoans and plants. miRNAs are usually generated from noncoding regions of gene… Read More ›
Peptides for Influenza Research
Synthetic peptides are versatile tools to help develop vaccines against new Influenza A viral strains Pools or libraries of synthetic peptides derived from Influenza A viral proteins can be used to screen for and identify human leukocyte class I (HLA-I)… Read More ›
Tales of Genes and Proteins
Implications of the Human Genome Project The human genome project revealed that the human genome contains approximately 26,000 to 38,000 genes that code for proteins. This is significantly fewer than had been previously anticipated. It was found that protein-coding sequences… Read More ›
