Flow Cytometry01:23

Flow Cytometry

16.4K
The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Next-generation Sequencing

98.7K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Generation Time01:22

Generation Time

1.5K
Bacterial generation time, the period required for a bacterial population to double during its exponential growth phase, serves as a critical measure of microbial growth dynamics under optimal conditions. This parameter varies significantly across bacterial species and can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the availability of nutrients. For example, Escherichia coli can achieve a generation time of approximately 20 minutes, while Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a much...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.9K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Sequences01:29

Sequences

281
Sequences are fundamental mathematical objects consisting of ordered lists of numbers that follow a specific rule or pattern. Sequences are critical in various mathematical concepts, including calculus, series, and number theory. They can model real-world phenomena such as population growth, financial investments, and physical processes like the diminishing height of a bouncing ball.Each number in a sequence is referred to as a term. Typically, the terms are denoted as a1, a2, a3,…, where...

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

774.8K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

  • Plant biology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • Meiosis is crucial for sexual reproduction, producing haploid gametes.
  • Genomic and epigenomic studies of meiosis in multicellular organisms are challenging due to difficulties in collecting sufficient meiocytes.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods require large numbers of cells, especially for studies preserving chromatin architecture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient protocol for isolating maize male meiocytes.
  • To enable genomic and epigenomic studies of meiosis using NGS techniques.
  • To provide a method for isolating meiocytes from formaldehyde-fixed samples for crosslinking-dependent NGS applications.

Main Methods:

  • Anthers at specific meiotic stages were fixed with paraformaldehyde.
  • Fixed anthers were disrupted to create a cell suspension.
  • Meiocytes were purified using size-based cell strainers and flow cytometry.

Main Results:

  • A simple protocol was established to isolate maize male meiocytes.
  • The method yields approximately 20,000 meiocytes from 400 anthers.
  • High purity (98%) of isolated meiocytes was achieved within 6 to 8 hours.

Conclusions:

  • This protocol provides an efficient way to obtain purified maize male meiocytes for NGS.
  • The method facilitates advanced genomic and epigenomic analyses of meiosis in maize.
  • The technique is suitable for NGS applications requiring preserved chromatin structure.
