What is the difference between log2 ratio and log 2 fold?

Hi sorry I am totally new to data analysis and I see Log2 FC and Log2 Ratio often being used interchangeably, but they mean the same thing. I see Log2 FC more often used. However, is it more...

Does anyone know what might be causing the smeared bands on my western blot?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...

Yes dear, if there are presence of multiple bands in the gel with single primer at different location that shows the polymorphic bands and if gel results show only one amplified band at single location, obviously that is mono-morphic band, even if you have used different number of species.

As, your sample no. 1,3,4,14 shows polymorphic condition and 24, 25, 27 shows mono-morphic condition.

Aamir Raina

The term polymorphic and monomorphic, denotes whether your sequence of interest is present in different loci (polymorphic) or same loci (monomorphic) across the population.
