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.

The Meselson-Stahl Experiment, diagrammed to show the three possible outcomes: conservative, dispersive or semi-conservative.

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.

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

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...

No lab left behind

Sebastian S. Cocioba @atinygreencell.bsky.social · May 8

I think every lab should have one as a back up. A day of lost work is way more expensive than a single unit. It definitely saved my skin many many times.
