Chapter 1 - Combining Proteins and Nucleic Acids

BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES ARE GROUNDED IN THE CENTRAL DOGMA,

EACH LAYER OFFERING UNIQUE INSIGHTS. BRINGING THESE MODALITIES

TOGETHER BUILDS A CLEARER PICTURE OF CELLULAR BIOLOGY, WHILE

GENERATING A WEALTH OF DATA FOR FUTURE INVESTIGATION. HERE, WE

EXPLORE A SELECTION OF COMMERCIAL AND OPEN-SOURCE PLATFORMS

THAT COMBINE PROTEIN AND NUCLEIC ACID DETECTION, DETAILING

THEIR BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS, WHILE PROVIDING RECENT USE

CASES. THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF THE WET LABORATORY SCIENTIST IS ALSO

DISCUSSED AS WE MOVE INTO THIS DIGITAL ERA.
