After extensive washing with PBST [Phosphate Buffered Saline supplemented with 0.2% Tween‐20], cells were counterstained with 4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI), mounted on glass slides, and observed under a Zeiss Axiovert LSM780 microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). To count the number of foci, images were adjusted consistently by changing the gamma and white (brightness) parameters in the ZEN program (Carl Zeiss). After this adjustment, foci with pixel values of over 30 were counted.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
