which biotechnology knowledge is good
Hello Aspirant,
Tissue Culture
Tissue culture is one of the most widely used techniques in any biological or biomedical research lab. If you are looking for a placement or job, tissue culture will be a very valuable biotechnology skill to have.
PCR
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a technique used to make many copies of a specific DNA region in vitro. It’s also a widely used molecular biology technique that involves amplification of a single copy or a few copies of a segment of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
Gel Electrophoresis
Gel electrophoresis is another widely used technique in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and modern biotechnology. It is used for separation of biological macromolecules (proteins or nucleic acids) according to their electrophoretic mobility. There are two types of popular gel electrophoresis – Native PAGE and SDS-PAGE.
Western Blot
Western blot, also known as protein immunoblot, is a popular molecular biology technique for the detection and analysis of proteins based on their ability to bind to specific antibodies. Western blot is used to prove different properties of proteins from a complex mixture of proteins extracted from cells, based on molecular weight.
These are some important topics in Biotechnology.
