Non-LTR Retrotransposons03:18

Non-LTR Retrotransposons

13.5K
As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Base Excision Repair

26.4K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.

DC Generator

2.1K
An alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that varies sinusoidally, resulting in AC current. Meanwhile, a DC generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, which are DC pulses with the same polarity. The construction of a DC generator is similar to that of an alternator, except that the pair of slip rings is replaced by a single split ring, also called a commutator. The commutator functions like a periodic rotary switch; it changes the contacts with the...

Next-generation Sequencing

98.7K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) preparation for pyrosequencing is costly and labor-intensive.
  • Existing pyrosequencing methods carry a risk of cross-contamination due to ssDNA handling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simplified pyrosequencing method directly applicable to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA).
  • To reduce costs, labor, and contamination risks associated with ssDNA preparation in pyrosequencing.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced NEase recognition sites into dsDNA via PCR or reverse-transcription primers with mismatched bases.
  • Treated PCR products to remove excess reagents (primers, nucleotides, pyrophosphate).
  • Performed pyrosequencing directly on nicked dsDNA templates.

Main Results:

  • Successfully sequenced approximately 10 bases directly from nicked dsDNA, sufficient for genotyping and gene expression analysis.
  • Demonstrated highly quantitative pyrogram signals for allele-specific bases, enabling accurate template quantification.
  • Successfully applied the method for Down's Syndrome diagnosis and differential gene expression analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Pyrosequencing directly on nicked dsDNA is a simple, cost-effective, and reliable alternative to ssDNA-based methods.
  • This approach facilitates quantitative genotyping and gene expression analysis.
  • The method offers a significant advancement for genetic diagnostic and research applications.
