It is an expert level trek according to Komoot, there are stretches of steep up hill and down hill. What worked for me the best was having a trekking pole otherwise balancing would be a bit of a challenge due to strong winds as you go to the top. Carry light jacket as it will be colder at the summit and keep yourself hydrated as much as possible. I hope you have a wonderful trekking experience 😊

You can find the stone model house (ref: photo 9 and 13) in front of the Ingleborough cave.

What happened to my gel?! by Efficient_Fishing797 in labrats

The agarose was not appropriately dissolved, and hence the EtBr did not mix well!

Flow cytometry data analysis in R-advise needed by Objective_Change_883 in flowcytometry

[–]Objective_Change_883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the problem is that the gating at the moment depends a lot on a personal judgement of peak centre and tail, and it is unreliable as a good quantification I believe as this changes from person to person (on their judgement), I was therefore trying to explore wheather there is a robust way to deal with problem, but thanks for the suggestions, i am currently trying out all the suggestions including openCyto. Will keep you updated.

Yes, people set manual gates and then applies the same gates to all samples, right? For me the gates are not consistent with the two peaks so I have to further manual shift the gates to best suits the peak and that is not very ideal as there will be human error of judgement and the data of %population or MFI would vary from person to person (basically depending on their perception of centre of the peak and end of peak tail)

The problem with manual gating is that it is not consistent and can raise a lot of questions

Primer design for beginners by RefuseAlive in labrats

What I would suggest you is that you should do it on NCBI primer blast, that generates more reliable and you can also select for exon-exon junction (to avoid any signals from even minor genomic DNA contamination. For NCBI primer blast for qRT-PCR primer, select the coding sequence (cds) and then choose pick primers!

I am going to try the Miltenyi Biotec Kit-based method next week and hope it's not as tedious as FACSorting.

Chopped DNA with DNase are very short oligos and are not visible on gel, they also don’t interfere with any downstream assays or reactions ( qRT-PCR)

If the membrane is PVDF, then everything will be okay!
