Lectins are glycoproteins of 60,000-100,000 MW that are known for their ability to agglutinate (clump) erythrocytes in vitro. There are over 400,000 estimated binding sites for kidney bean agglutinin on the surface of each erythrocytes. Lectins are found in most types of beans, including soybeans.
A DNA sequencer is a scientific instrument used to automate the DNA sequencing process.Given a sample of DNA, a DNA sequencer is used to determine the order of the four bases: G (guanine), C (cytosine), A (adenine) and T (thymine).This is then reported as a text string, called a read.NA sequencer manufacturers use a number of different methods to detect which DNA bases are present. The specific protocols applied in different sequencing platforms have an impact in the final data that is generated. Therefore, comparing data quality and cost across different technologies can be a daunting task.
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an important tool for many applications. For example, it can be used to amplify a sample of DNA when there isnât enough to analyze (e.g. a sample of DNA from a crime scene, archeological samples), as a method of identifying a gene of interest, or to test for disease.rimers complementary to particular regions of the DNA of interest are added to a sample along with the enzyme DNA polymerase. A complementary strand of DNA is built using the primer as the initial building block.
