Mediator Probe PCR: Detection of Real-Time PCR by Label-Free Probes and a Universal Fluorogenic Reporter
Mediator probe PCR (MP PCR) is a novel detection format for real-time nucleic acid analysis. Label-free mediator probes (MP) and fluorogenic universal reporter (UR) oligonucleotides are combined to accomplish signal generation. Compared to conventional hydrolysis probe PCRs costs can thus be saved by using the same fluorogenic UR for signal generation in different assays. This tutorial provides a practical guideline to MP and UR design. MP design rules are very similar to those of hydrolysis probes. The major difference is in the replacement of the fluorophore and quencher by one UR-specific sequence tag, the mediator. Fur...

Bryan Clarke obituary
Professor of genetics who founded the Frozen Ark to preserve the genes of endangered creaturesBryan Clarke, who has died aged 81, was the founding professor of genetics at the University of Nottingham, where he set up the Frozen Ark, a scheme to preserve the genes and cells of endangered creatures. This was planned to act as a databank of material as yet unstudied by science. His ultimate aim, that in time its contents could be used to regenerate the animals themselves, once seemed quixotic, but in these days of stem cells may yet succeed.Before his time at Nottingham (1971-97) he taught at Edinburgh University (1959-71). ...
