I know books like "Methods in Molecular Biology" exist but reading through them and maintaining a comprehensive overview is quite difficult. I just got a basic question by my professor how I would go about to identify novel regulators of some protein and I couldnt came up with anything :D
The AY.122 version, which is mainly widespread in Russia, has already been identified in seven counties in Ukraine. According to the announcement, the researchers identified 12 different variants of the delta mutant in samples obtained from a public health center under the Ministry of Health in Ukraine.
And their spectrum is different from those that spread in the country in November.
The experts added. According to them, the delta AY.122 subvariant, which is currently actively spreading in Russia, has appeared as a new variant in Ukraine. This subvariant is more contagious than other variants of the delta and causes serious complications, in many cases leading to death, scientists said. It was also suggested that this sub-variant is responsible for the high mortality rate in Ukraine.

Im normally a deep in the back of the lab sort of labrat but the PI has decided I know more than him about certain subjects and it's time for me expand and to pass on my knowledge by running some courses in basic molbio.
I'm not fantastic at talking, but willing to give it a go anyway. Im trying to put together some slides. I need clip art for DNA, RNA, mRNA, tRNA, Taq polymerase, etc. just want to cover the bases (HA!)
anyone have any sources they wish to share?
Does anyone have input on workload and grading for the course? How would you compare it to other bio electives? Is molecular biology or genetics necessary before taken it? Thanks!
So i recently graduated in may with a degree in molecular and cell biology and i am currently working in a research lab at a university. My original plan was to apply to optometry school during this my gap year but i realised that i dont want to go to optometry school anymore. I am currently looking for an alternative for at least the next year because my current job contract ends in july and i am currently living at home and I reallly really want to move out around that time but i will need to have job secured by then. I was wondering what career/job options are out there for someone like me and i have alot research experience in terms of bench work. I am also open to learning new skills like coding or data analysis. I am only 21 so i am pretty open to anything as long as i have a decent salary, preferably $40-50K so that i can move out and live on my own.
Finally hear back from my first school out of 7 and got rejected starting to get worried. I thought Wisconsin was my safety !!!
Hello fellow rats. I have been given an offer for a job working in academia as a research assistant in a molecular lab. I did some research in under grad and worked in a medical lab after college. I was feeling stagnant working there so opened up to new opportunities.
I know this is dependent on the PI, lab, and even university, but what do research assistants do? What would my roles be?
I’ve already been given a general idea of what the roles will be (helping grad students, general lab upkeep), but worry I may be too inexperienced for the job. I also worry that my initial experience in research has tainted my few of the field (I had worked under a new PI who was a bit inexperienced in organizing a lab and helping their students, which caused extreme anxiety for me). I also worry I would be doing independent research, which does stress me out due to not having much research experience.
Anyone have any advice? I plan to talk to the PI more next week about the roles, but wanted to get more thoughts about this type of position before I continue in the hiring process.
Thank you.
How is the class? I’m taking it with Bossy-Wetzel and I can’t find anything on how the class is. How challenging is it? Don’t really know much about it.
