I have a problem seeing the bigger picture of research

... any form of genetics to create mutants to study individual gene function? Does RNAi work? Can you test if gene homologs in this organism can rescue a mutant phenotype in another (well-known) species? How about a smaller piece of the gene, eg. a specific protein domain, whether it rescues ...

Choosing a yeast vector

Hello, I have cloned several plant arsenic transporters and would like to express them in yeast to see if they can partially rescue an arsenic-sensitive yeast strain. I am wondering how I choose an expression vector that is compatible with my yeast strains. Have done a lot of internet ...

Re: genomic rescue construct from BAC DNA

If I were you, I wouldn't just add more DNA to the reaction. I've come to believe that if you can see it, you can clone it. Are you using the right buffer for your restriction enzymes? For Fermentas enzymes, they suggest 2x tango but the BamHI is reduced to 50-100% activity. What company are the enz...

genomic rescue construct to use in drosophila

I am really confused as to how do you go about making a genomic rescue construct and how you make the transgenic fly. I am interested in making a rescue construct for a lethal gene that is really huge.
