RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

6.3K
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...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

9.8K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Next-generation Sequencing

87.0K
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

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

10.9K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

5.7K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Otolaryngology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Robin sequence is a congenital condition characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction.
  • It may occur with or without a cleft palate.
  • Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach for complex pediatric airway issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the multidisciplinary management strategies for Robin sequence.
  • To describe conservative and interventional treatment options.
  • To highlight the goal of avoiding tracheostomy in severe cases.

Main Methods:

  • Conservative management includes prone positioning, nasopharyngeal airways, oxygen, and feeding support.
  • Surgical interventions involve tongue-lip adhesion for anterior tongue repositioning.
  • Nonsurgical techniques like orthodontic airway plates are also utilized.
  • Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is reserved for severe cases.

Main Results:

  • Conservative measures aim to maintain a patent airway and support infant growth.
  • Surgical and nonsurgical interventions reposition the tongue to alleviate airway obstruction.
  • Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is effective in severe cases, potentially avoiding tracheostomy.

Conclusions:

  • Robin sequence necessitates a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team approach.
  • A spectrum of treatments, from conservative to surgical, is available.
  • The primary goal is to ensure airway patency and support infant development, avoiding tracheostomy when possible.
