Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes00:58

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes

46.0K
Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

801.2K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

88.0K
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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Genome Copying Errors02:46

Genome Copying Errors

4.4K
DNA replication is a well-evolved process that copies millions of base pairs with high fidelity during each cell division. Occasionally a wrong base or a long stretch of wrong bases may get added to the daughter strands. If the errors are left unchecked, cells might accumulate several mutations that might endanger their  survival. Therefore, the copying errors are checked and repaired at three levels.

DNA-only Transposons02:57

DNA-only Transposons

16.0K
DNA-only transposons are called autonomous transposons since they code for the enzyme transposase that is required for the transposition mechanism. Insertion of transposons can alter gene functions in multiple ways. They can mutate the gene, alter gene expression by introducing a novel promoter or insulator sequence, introduce new splice sites, and change the mRNA transcripts produced, or remodel chromatin structure.
The donor site from where the transposon is excised is either degraded or...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

5.9K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Area of Science:

  • Plant genetics
  • Molecular biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Sorghum germplasm diversity is crucial for crop improvement.
  • Identifying unique DNA markers is essential for genetic studies and breeding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize a sorghum genomic DNA clone for its utility in evaluating germplasm diversity.
  • To assess the variability of DNA fragment patterns across different sorghum accessions.

Main Methods:

  • Southern blot hybridization of a sorghum genomic DNA clone against EcoRV-digested DNA from 53 accessions.
  • Analysis of fragment patterns and comparison with EcoRI digests.
  • Base-sequence analysis of the clone.

Main Results:

  • The clone produced 46 distinct fragment patterns across 53 accessions, with patterns ranging from one to ten bands.
  • EcoRV digests revealed greater variability than EcoRI digests.
  • Sequence analysis did not identify a functional role or repetitive sequences in the clone.

Conclusions:

  • The characterized sorghum DNA clone is a valuable tool for evaluating germplasm diversity.
  • This clone can assist in determining the parentage of sorghum hybrids.
  • The observed fragment patterns highlight the genetic variability within the studied sorghum accessions.
