DNA KAFFE

DNA kaffe is a forum for issues, strategies and protocols related to the use and application of nucleic acid markers in the biological sciences. DNA kaffe will help you select a nucleic acid analysis method and set-up selected protocols in your laboratory. Protocols provide detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform selected DNA marker experiments and generally contain helpful trouble-shooting hints. You will also find comments on current issues and links to interesting sites.

A number of alternative techniques in nucleic acid analysis are now available and researchers are faced with the sometimes difficult challenge of matching the right DNA marker system with their individual application. DNA kaffe discusses this issue. Click below to know more on how to select the right technique.

DNA MARKERS: The past years have witnessed an unprecedented revolution in molecular genetics and biotechnology. This revolution, fueled in part by the discovery of recombinant DNA and the polymerase chain reaction, brought innumerable techniques to the bench of the biologist. We are now facing the challenge of proactive control of our future, by the use of genetic diagnostics, gene therapy, genetic engineering, and control and monitoring of biodiversity. Nucleic acid markers provide tools with which to evaluate and manage our biological resources, by measuring constitution and evolution of genetic material. Ultimately, these markers serve as suitable indicators of wealth, health and future of life.
