How to design primers for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)?

By | June 30, 2021

Primers will have the following characteristics: Primers will have a sequence length of 17 to 30 nucleotides. This enables unique annealing of the primer to a single sequence of the genome. Their GC content will be at least 50 percent. There should be more GC content towards the 3′ end so that it’s bound strongly… Read More »

Epigenetic regulation in the developing cerebral cortex/brain

By | June 29, 2021

The cerebral cortex or brain is a complex organ because millions of circuits involving various neuronal subtypes give rise to complex behavior or specific function. This process of neuronal circuit formation involved a complex network of transcriptional control of specification and plasticity of neurons. FEZF2 is one such transcription factor that is essential for the… Read More »
