Overview of Digital Electrophoresis Analysis.

Digital imaging is the method of choice for documentation and analysis of electrophoretic separations of protein and DNA. Digital images of gel electropherograms can be obtained rapidly using sCMOS and CCD-based cameras, and the images can be easily archived and analyzed using image analysis software. This overview defines important key terms and calculations for imaging, explains the capture process, reviews the range of technologies used for image capture, and provides an introduction to the software and methods used for one- and two-dimensional digital image analysis.

Overview of digital electrophoresis analysis.

Gel electrophoresis has become a ubiquitous method in molecular biology for separating biomolecules. This prominence is the result of several factors, including the robustness, speed, and potentially high throughput of the technique. The results of this method are traditionally documented using silver halide-based photography followed by manual interpretation.

Digital electrophoresis analysis.

Digital recording of gel images offers several advantages over conventional photography. Capture of the image is quick and reliable, retaining the image in a medium that allows digital analysis of the image. These images are easy to handle, accurate, reproducible and less expensive to generate.

Expression of the Commelina yellow mottle virus promoter in transgenic oat.

The Commelina yellow mottle virus (CoYMV) infects the monocot weed Commelina diffusa. The objective of this study was to investigate the transgene expression conferred by the CoYMV promoter in a monocot species. Friable, embryogenic oat (Avena sativa L.
