How are cell models furthering our understanding of post-implantation human embryo development? – Find out in your latest issue of BioTechniques

In this issue of BioTechniques, we present a simplified in situ hybridization protocol for planarians, considerations for colorblind individuals when developing colorimetric or fluorescent dye assays, and an easily scalable adaptation of the hot sodium hydroxide and tris method coupled to a competitive allele-specific PCR genotyping method.
