Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis is a powerful and convenient tool for analyzing the sequence diversity of complex natural microbial populations. To amplify 16S rDNA and PCR product specific primers were used and analyzed by Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Genus- and cluster-specific probes were designed to bind to sequences within the region amplified by these primers. … Read more

Plesiosaurs

Introduction Plesiosaurs are a clade of Sauropterygian reptiles that were first observed in the late Triassic surviving until the Cretaceous mass extinction event (Benton, 1990). As a result of the high deposition rates in the marine environments they inhabited, the fossil record of plesiosaurs is particularly complete in relation to other groups. Therefore, we are … Read more
