Cloning of genomic DNA for human atrial natriuretic factor
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
|December 14, 1984
Abstract:
A human genomic DNA clone for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) gene was isolated from a human gene library using the previously cloned cDNA for rat ANF as a probe. Partial nucleotide sequencing of the cloned DNA revealed the location of a 120-bp long intron between Lys-41 and Asn-42 of the ANF precursor. Restriction mapping also suggested the existence of at least one other intron in or proximal to the 3' -untranslated region.

Reproductive Cloning
Reproductive cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy—a clone—of an entire organism. While clones can be produced by splitting an early embryo—similar to what happens naturally with identical twins—cloning of adult animals is usually done by a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic cell—any cell that is not a sex...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
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 primer.
