Why You Should Use a Thermocycler Instead of an Incubator

High-throughput genomic methods are increasingly used to investigate invertebrate thermal responses with greater dimensionality and resolution than previously achieved. However, corresponding methods for characterising invertebrate phenotypes are still lacking. Jacinta Kong and her co-authors propose a novel use of thermocyclers as temperature-controlled incubators for characterising invertebrate phenotypes. Why use a thermocycler instead of current methods to characterise thermal phenotypes? In this video they outline key advantages of … Continue reading Why You Should Use a Thermocycler Instead of an Incubator
