The Meselson and Stahl experiment demonstrated in 1958 that DNA replicated semi-conservatively.

Meaning, each of the two strands of DNA serves as a template for a new copy to made of the complementary strand.

Foundational finding, elegant experimental design.

Grades don’t define you. Growth does.

Best post you'll ever read today

the word dna is displayed on a screen with a glowing background . Alt: the word dna is displayed on a screen with a glowing background and double helix animation behind it.

Fun DNA fact:
Five main nucleotide bases are A, G, C, T & U:

A - Adenine - 'ADEN' is Greek for "gland", found in pancreas
G - Guanine - found in bird GUANO
C - Cytosine - calf thymus, but named for CELLs
T - Thymine - Also isolated from calf THYMUS.
U - Uracil - isolated from URINE crystals.

Excited to follow USAMRIID’s progress as they push the boundaries of what’s possible in biodefense and infectious disease response. ⚡🔬

As champions of accessible biotech tools, we're inspired to see cutting-edge research focused on rapid, reliable diagnostics. From the frontlines of public health to the lab bench, innovative detection technologies are key to staying ahead of emerging threats.

USAMRIID is Advancing the Next Generation of Pathogen Detection Researchers at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases are testing a promising new biological threat detection method in high-fidelity training scenarios, demonstrating its sui...

Lambda DNA Restriction Digestion Analysis Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences, producing fragments of varying lengths. Lambda DNA is a linear viral genome (~48,502 bp) often used as a model in molecular biology. Digestion with d...

An instant classic! Analyze DNA fragment patterns produced by restriction enzyme digestion of Lambda phage DNA. Compare single and double digests to determine the cutting sites and estimate fragment sizes using a DNA ladder.

No lab left behind

Mine is also always there and ready to go!

My workhorse was occupied so I had to whip out Ye Olde @minipcr.bsky.social which remains an evergreen lifesaver in a pinch. Excellent design that won't die. Thanks, guys!

Nine years ago today, the first Genes in Space investigation launched to the International Space Station. This student-led project marked the first successful use of PCR in space. Be a part of space biology history--apply to Genes in Space by April 14th! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW-Y...

With ONE WEEK left to apply to the 2025 contest, we wanted to take a look at some of the incredible firsts that our student winners have accomplished in the first decade of Genes in Space. www.genesinspace.org/news/blog/ce...
