READING LIST - Assigned by Dr. Haynes


PROTOCOLS

  1. Bioinformatics workflow or finding PcTF targets: will be added this week after I work out some bugs
  2. Transfection of plasmid DNA into human cells: http://openwetware.org/wiki/Haynes:TransfectionPlasmid_Lipo
  3. RNA miniprep: http://openwetware.org/wiki/Haynes:TRIzol_RNeasy
  4. cDNA synthesis: Notebook page from Carly's project
  5. RT-PCR set-up: http://openwetware.org/wiki/Haynes:UPLassay (I fixed the assay design center link)
