What are some key techniques used in Molecular Biology for Bioanalytical purposes?
Several key techniques are employed in molecular biology that have profound implications in bioanalytical sciences. They include:
PCR: A technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences, making it easier to study them in detail. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): A method that allows for the rapid sequencing of the entire genome or targeted areas of the genome. Western Blotting: A technique used to detect specific proteins in a sample using antibody binding. Mass Spectrometry: Used for identifying and quantifying proteins and other molecules. CRISPR-Cas9: A genome editing tool that allows for precise modifications to the DNA of living organisms.
