Metabolomics

words: 4
Study of the metabolome.

Metabolic pathway

For a commented initial example, see: e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene thrA.
KEGG does the visual maps well.
But BioCyc is generally better otherwise.

TODO human presumably?
I don't think it has any advantage over KEGG however, besides historical interest? Maybe slightly more manual layout and so more beautiful?
James Somers (rightly) likes to point to it as a "biology is awesome" thing.
An artificial metabolic pathway using synthetic biology technology.

CIDARLAB/cello

words: 19
github.com/CIDARLAB/cello
Design software for synthetic biological circuit.
The input is in Verilog! Overkill?
Then it essentially maps to a standard cell library of biological primitives!

Molecular biology technique

Flow cytometry

Video 1. Flow Cytometry Animation by StarCellBio (2015) Source.

Mass cytometry

words: 37
You label cells with isotopes rather than fluorescent substances. Vendors claim that this allows much wider N-way sorts, e.g. 2022 Fluidigm claims around 40/50, because the fluorecent spectrum is too wide to do much more than 7/8 way splits.

Fluorescent protein

words: 79 articles: 5

Fluorescent tag

words: 51 articles: 2
Protein tag
words: 51 articles: 1
You modify the DNA of a cell and stick a fluorescent protein right before or after another protein. Then when it gets translated, the GFP is stuck to the protein of interest, which hopefully hasn't lost its function as a result, then you can just see the protein of interest.
GFP tagging
words: 4
Using green fluorescent protein as a protein tag.

List of fluorescent proteins

words: 28 articles: 1
The 3D structure of GFP is so cool. It is so clearly a bottle with a fluorescent bit well isolated right in the middle. Like a little lamp.

Gel electrophoresis

words: 101 articles: 3
Technique widely used to measure the size of DNA strands, most often PCR output of a region of interest.
A simple sample application is gel electrophoresis alelle determination.
In the case of indel mutations (see limits of gel electrophoreses for minimal size difference issues), it is possible to determine the allele with gel electrophoresis. You can just read out the alleles right in the gel. It is a thing of beauty.
As of 2020, this method appears to be much cheaper than DNA sequencing approaches.

Microplate

words: 5 articles: 1
Biologists are obsessed with these!

Sonicator

words: 23
These can be used to break cells apart from tissue, and also break up larger DNA or RNA molecules into smallers ones, suitable for sequencing.
