Brenner’s kidding
South African biologist Sydney Brenner is a scientific icon of the “Golden Age” of molecular biology. The 2002 Nobel prize laureate was one of the first people to see the Watson-Crick model of the structure of DNA in 1953 (he was working at the nearby Oxford University’s Chemistry Department at that time). In the course […]

E.coli codon usage optimization
How to optimize a gene for E.coli codon usage using mrgene.com’s online software tool.
The movie below explains how to optimize a gene for E.coli codon usage.
.
Mr. Gene’s online tool automatically tries to eliminate DNA motifs known to hamper expression in E.coli (and other prokarya). Ribosomal entry sites, TATA-Boxes or -35 Boxes present within […]
