Molecular Biology & Gene Expression

We offer the following services for amplification, cloning, expression of genes and proteins:

Recombinant DNA services

  • PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) based amplification, cloning and sequence verification
  • Characterisation of gene expression by northern hybridisation, dot blots and slot blots
  • Construction of custom vectors (for expression, etc.) through vector engineering
  • Genotyping using PCR analysis (e.g. Mouse tail PCR)
  • Site directed mutagenesis
  • Custom cDNA library preparation
  • An array of 40 odd human cell lines to quickly source RNA

Gene expression

  • E. coli (Bl21, shake flask)
  • Yeast (Saccharomyces)
  • Insect cell (Bac to bac system)
  • Mammalian hosts

Yeast biology

  • Function determination
  • Yeast models
  • Customised screens with human genes
  • Two hybrid screens
