Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved DNA...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

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.
Since the...

RNA-seq

RNA-seq

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 microarray-based...

Globular and Fibrous Proteins

Globular and Fibrous Proteins

Many proteins can be classified into two distinct subtypes - globular or fibrous. These two types differ in their shapes and solubilities.
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...

Complete nucleotide sequence of a chicken alpha-globin cDNA.

A Y Liu, W Salser

|May 1, 1981

Summary

Researchers sequenced a chicken alpha-globin gene insert in plasmid pHb1003. The findings suggest it may represent a non-adult or stress globin, potentially important for understanding avian hematopoiesis.

Area of Science:

Molecular Biology
Genetics
Biochemistry

Background:

The study focuses on recombinant plasmid pHb1003, containing a cloned cDNA copy of chicken alpha-globin mRNA.
Alpha-globin is a crucial component of hemoglobin, essential for oxygen transport in vertebrates.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the complete nucleotide sequence of the 541 bp insert within the pHb1003 plasmid.
To analyze the sequence for characteristics that might indicate a non-adult or stress-induced globin gene.

Main Methods:

DNA sequencing of the recombinant plasmid pHb1003 insert.
Analysis of the sequenced insert, including untranslated regions and coding sequence.

Main Results:

The complete 541 bp sequence of the insert was determined.

The insert contains the complete structural gene for chicken alpha-globin, along with 19 bp of the 5'-untranslated region and 99 bp of the 3'-untranslated region.

The sequence data suggests the possibility of encoding a non-adult alpha-globin.

Conclusions:

The sequenced alpha-globin gene insert in pHb1003 may represent a non-adult or stress globin.
The findings are supported by the origin of the cDNA clones from anemic leghorns treated with phenylhydrazine.
Further investigation is warranted to confirm the functional role and expression pattern of this specific alpha-globin.
