After gene knockout, will incorporation of non-target tissue mRNA make significant error in measuring relative expression level against the wild type?

An SLR1 promoter is a tissue-specific promoter for exocyst genes which is strongly expressed only in stigma and not in the pollen or style. Suppose that we have an RNA knockout gene construct as...

What is the reason of secondary bands in low annealing temperatures in gradient PCR?

I am working on a PCR. I did gradient PCR to make sure that the annealing temperature mentioned in the reference study is the best temperature for annealing. I found there were lots of secondary...

Does entering wrong information in rt pcr machine affects the results?

I wonder if entering a wrong information to rtpcr machine would really affect the results. For instance, wrong concentration or dilution factor when labeling the plate before the run.???

I am getting more than the two maximum PCR bands expected by allele with the correct size from the polymorphisms studied. What is wrong?

Hello, I am studying MAO-A polymorphisms that consist on a series of repetions of promoter region. Therefore, I expect to obtain up to 5 different PCR bands (291,321,336,351,381bp) depending on...

Should I use PCR or Western blot?

I want to prove the existence of S100, S100A6, GFAP, MOG and MPZ in SG- and CN-sphere as well as in SG and CN tissue. What is more reliable; PCR or Western blot in this case? What do you think?
