- How is a specific probe obtained?arrow_forwardWhich of the following are true regarding assay attributes? List all that are true. a) Accuracy represents the closeness of the assay result to the “true value”. b) Robustness represents the ability of a method to distinguish between the analyte and similar components. c) Precision is determined by replicate analysis of a reference standard or well-characterized material. d) A robust assay would have a very narrow range of acceptable assay conditions. For those that were not true in question 1, correct the statement(s).arrow_forwardI understand that microarrays are being used to define the molecular abnormality and the prognosis in some patients with leukaemia.

- A plaque assay is performed beginning with 1 mL of a solution containing bacteriophages. This solution is serially diluted three times by combining 0.1 mL of each sequential dilution with 9.9 mL of liquid medium. Then 0.1 mL of the final dilution is plated in the plaque assay and yields 17 plaques. What is the initial density of bacteriophages in the original 1 mL?arrow_forwardWhat is blue/white screening? What is the key feature of a plasmid that is used for it?arrow_forwardThe strain of λ phage t is cI857. That tells you that the cI DNA segment is disabled by a specific mutation. What is the exact genetic change in cI857? What specific property of the cI gene product does this mutation change, and how does this help titering for a plaque assay?arrow_forward
