I have characterized a protein using cDNA cloning of its mRNA. I also have digested the protein using MALDI-TOF mass spec. Ideally I would have like to have done MALDI-TOF tandem MS, but it was...

Why can't we just sequence PCR material directly? There should be many more copies of the pcr fragment than anything else.

I have a project where I need to theorize the protein sequence of quail myoglobin. A very similar organism (chicken) has already had its myoglobin sequenced. I can access the entire genome of...

I have the mRNA sequence for myoglobin in quail. But I cannot figure out how to use this to find the dna sequence for the gene so that I can design primers for it. The BLAST website is still fresh...
