Abstract: The invention relates to an ssDNA molecule, to a dsDNA molecule, to an RNA, to a vector, to the use thereof and to a cell, especially for the expression of tubulysin genes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for examining macromolecules which can be stored in frequency-based data patterns. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method and to different applications of both the method and device. The method itself is based on: the compilation of sequence data of molecular sequences of macromolecules; the conversion of the sequence data into frequency-modulated frequency data; the transformation of the frequency data into a Fourier space; the use of Fourier analyses for comparing, weighting, cataloging and/or typifying the frequency data and, finally, for re-transforming the weighted, cataloged and/or typified frequency data into sequence data provided in a weighted, cataloged and/or typified form.

Abstract: In a vacuum chamber, which has at least two vacuum regions, substances, especially fluids, are transported in a directed manner from one region into the other region by the application of a suitable vacuum. As a result, it is possibly by the use of filter supports or receiver supports to transport a fluid automatically through corresponding filter supports during a plasmid preparation. The vacuum chamber is charged by means of a gripping robot that operates automatically and is switched by a suitable valve control means. By incorporating the vacuum chamber with its gripping robot and the control means into a pipetting robot system, automatic plasmid preparation, for example in accordance with the Qiagen protocol, is possible.

Abstract: A dryer module for drying filter supports in DNA preparation comprises a receiving member for receiving the filter support and at least one blower member, the blower member being arranged below the receiving member for receiving the filter support so that the filter support is blown on an dried from below. The dryer module also has a heating system for warming the air blown from below against the filter support, the heating system being arranged above the blower member, of which there is at least one. The dryer module is electronically controlled by a control means as a function of the measured temperature of the drying air. The dryer module can be used as a stand-along apparatus or in an automated environment.
