Total RNA Extraction from Rhizobium etli Cell or Bacteroid Pellets
Total RNA Extraction from Rhizobium etli Cell or Bacteroid Pellets
11 Jan 2016This application note compares an extensive compilation of non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) predictions to intergenic expression data of a whole-genome, high-resolution tiling array in the soil-dwelling α-proteobacterium Rhizobium etli. ncRNAs play a crucial role in the intricate regulation of bacterial gene expression, allowing bacteria to quickly adapt to changing environments. The Precellys®24 homogenizer is an easy to use device that can be utilized to accomplish a thorough lysis of even stationary phase cells in combination with the lysing kit.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
