MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
One of the world's leading research institutes, our scientists are working to advance understanding of biological processes at the molecular level - providing the knowledge needed to solve key problems in human health.
“Interested in overcoming the PCR inhibitors often present in complex environmental samples, Phil Holliger and colleagues decided the best solution to the problem was to re-engineer a better polymerase – an ‘evolved’ polymerase that offered resistance to the environmental inhibitors.” This article is no longer available from the source website: Biotechniques 2 February 2012
“EMBO Member Jason Chin, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, talks about reprogramming the genetic code and re-engineering ribosomes and the possibility of building a parallel biological system. He also talks about in-vivo experiments in biochemistry, gives advice to young researchers and how he benefitted from being an EMBO Young Investigator.” More…
