Studying protein polymerization with mass photometry

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) supports a large network of National Centers for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NCBIB) through the P41 grant mechanism.

Do you wish there were an easy way to optimize protein expression? This webinar will introduce you to three powerful strategies that can make your research more efficient: codon optimization, ribosome binding site design, and expression vector selection. We will describe the principles underlying these strategies, review case studies showing how big an impact they can have, and walk through how easy it is to use GenScript's free computational tools and best-in-class gene synthesis and cloning services to get optimized expression constructs.

Maize is one of the most economically important crops globally and much effort has been spent generating the high quality B73 reference genome. However, the 10 chromosome, 2.3 gigabase (Gb) B73 reference genome was a substantial challenge due to the fact it is comprised of 85% transposable elements, 75% of which are long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons that share high sequence similarity and form nested repeat structures. Ultralong Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) holds the promise of traversing the complex repeat structures of maize and enabling rapid sequencing of new breeding lines.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to apply the following: Define terms such as biological agent, bioterrorism and bioterrorism attack.
