Lecture - Molecular techniques

Today we had a discussion in which we summarized some of the most important techniques that are used to study proteins and nucleic acids. Topics that were covered:
  • Protein purification
  • Denaturing PolyAcrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)
  • Two-dimensional electrophoresis
  • PCR
  • PCR in disease diagnosis
  • DNA sequencing
    • Chain termination method (Sanger method - manual and automated)
    • Shotgun sequencing
    • Pyrosequencing
    • Next-generation sequencing
  • DNA typing
