I’m doing my Msc in plant biotechnology in Malaysia,I wanna continue it in Ca.I prefer Vancouver for first choice. which universities in Ca I can apply ?

And what schools are the best to major in biochemistry? I’m leaning on Berkeley…

Mine’s the computer. I love how all of you bozos are sitting their on your keisters, using the computer to log on to Yahoo Answers, and still denying the theory of evolution when without its understanding computers wouldn’t have functioned.

There’s also: Modern antibiotics, DNA fingerprinting and bioinformatics, modern knowledge in animal and plant breeding, modern understanding of genes, psychology, ethics, etc.

Choose wisely, ya bastards.

Correct or in correct, i wrote it and wanted to know if its a valid statement.

After some paper-reading, I realized there are two ways to quantify TUNEL: either by flow cytometry, or using chamber slides or cytospin to adhere cells to a glass slide, performing TUNEL with an in-situ kit, and then counting by direct microscopy.

When I presented this discrepency to a senior lab member, he just gave me a cold stare and asked me which was more accurate: counting 400 cells or 10,000? However, I think there must be some reason why so many papers use the glass slide method !

Does it have something to do with the adhesiveness of cells (all the papers using glass slides use adhesive cells)? After all that failure and disappointment I went through with annexinV/PI, I don’t want to make the same mistake again!

And another question: If I’m doing TUNEL via flow, is single staining enough or should I counter-stain it with PI or something? I’m not sure what the function of counter-staining in this situation actually is…. Anyways I’m a newbie in this apoptosis thing (my prof asked me to do this two months ago), any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

the technical term for the number of viable organisms present is ?

Which looks better for med school? Isn’t better to major in biochem because it’s half bio and half chem and it’s a bit more challenging then Biology major? Plus there are too many Biology major out there? What major do you recommend for med school, Biology or Biochemistry major?
