CRISPR-associated protein Cpf1 can be guided by a specially designed CRISPR RNA (crRNA) to cleave double-stranded DNA at desired sites, generating sticky ends. Based on this characteristic, a DNA assembly standard (C-Brick) was established, and a protocol detailing its use is described here.

This protocol outlines the workflow of a CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing system for the repair of point mutations in mammalian cells. Here, we use a combinatorial approach to gene editing with a detailed follow-on experimental strategy for measuring indel formation at the target site—in essence, analyzing onsite mutagenesis.

Optimized Negative Staining: a High-throughput Protocol for Examining Small and Asymmetric Protein Structure by Electron Microscopy

More than half of proteins are small proteins (molecular mass <200 kDa) that are challenging for both electron microscope imaging and three-dimensional reconstructions. Optimized negative staining is a robust and high-throughput protocol to obtain high contrast and relatively high resolution (~1 nm) images of small asymmetric proteins or complexes under different physiological conditions.

Source: Richard Glickman-Simon, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, MA The simplest ophthalmoscopes consist of an aperture to look through, a diopter indicator, and a disc for selecting lenses. The ophthalmoscope is primarily used to examine the fundus, or the inner wall of the posterior eye, which consists of the choroid, retina, fovea, macula, optic disc, and retinal vessels (Figure 1). The spherical eyeball...
FAQs
A prescribed sequence organizes the examination so required observations are not omitted or collected inconsistently. Defined measurement conditions make findings more comparable, while interpretation criteria provide a common basis for evaluating what those findings mean. Together, these elements help clinicians produce records that can be reviewed consistently across patients, examiners, and clinical settings.
Variation decreases when clinicians follow the same examination sequence, assess the same required observations, and use consistent recording methods. The protocol limits differences caused by technique or incomplete assessment rather than relying entirely on individual habits. This consistency improves reproducibility, making findings easier to compare across examinations and strengthening communication among healthcare professionals.
Documentation converts examination findings into a consistent record by specifying how observations and measurements should be recorded. Uniform records allow clinicians to review comparable information rather than reconstructing different styles of assessment. In research and quality assurance, this consistency supports evaluation of examination performance, comparison of results, and identification of incomplete or variable assessment.
Application begins by following the specified examination sequence, then collecting each required observation under the stated measurement conditions. Findings are recorded using the designated method and considered according to the protocol’s interpretation criteria. Completing these stages systematically helps prevent omissions and creates a reproducible examination record suitable for clinical evaluation, training, or research.
Its uses extend across clinical training, structured patient evaluation, quality assurance, and medical research. In training, it gives learners a consistent framework for conducting and documenting examinations. In care and research, it supports comparable findings across patients and settings, allowing teams to communicate more clearly and assess examination practices with greater consistency.
Consistent examination methods create comparable findings over time and across assessment settings. This makes the protocol useful for monitoring disease, evaluating interventions, and examining whether observed differences reflect clinical change rather than inconsistent technique or documentation. By improving reproducibility, it also provides a reliable foundation for research comparisons and the development of evidence-based clinical practice.
