Types of Nucleic Acid Probes | Biotechnology

The following points highlight the three types of nucleic acid probes. The probes are: 1. Oligonucleotide Probes 2. DNA Probes 3. RNA Probes. Type # 1. Oligonucleotide Probes: These are synthesized chemically as oligonucleotides based on the information available on the amino acid sequence of the protein of interest. These oligo nucleotides can be used as a probe the identification [...]

Production of Selected Fatty Acids | Genetics

Engineering crops for selected fatty acid production is one of the important aim for plant biotechnology. An attempt has been made to increase one particular fatty acid stearate in transgenic Brassica plant. Synthesis of high proportion of stearate (18: 0) can reduce the process of hydrogenation. Normally hydrogenation generates high amount of trans fatty acids, which are associated with risk [...]
