The Use Of Synthetic Oligodeoxyribonucleotides In Direct Analysis Of Single Nucleotide Variations And Inhibition Of Eukaryotic Gene Expression, Daniel Y. Wu Aug 1990

The Use Of Synthetic Oligodeoxyribonucleotides In Direct Analysis Of Single Nucleotide Variations And Inhibition Of Eukaryotic Gene Expression, Daniel Y. Wu

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The present thesis work contributes to two areas of molecular genetics, namely the development of methods for identifying single nucleotides and the understanding of the mechanism by which antisense oligonucleotides inhibit eukaryotic gene expression. Three single nucleotide detection methods are presented. The first method utilizes hybridization with synthetic oligonucleotide probes to detect single or multiple nucleotide differences between alleles in genomic DNA without electrophoretic separation. Total genomic DNA (either digested or undigested with restriction endonucleases) was immobilized in depressions in an agarose gel (in situ dots) and hybridized with radiolabeled, allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. We show that this method can be …

Variants And Polymorphisms Of Three Repetitive Dna Families In The Human Genome, Robert M. Roudabush May 1989

Variants And Polymorphisms Of Three Repetitive Dna Families In The Human Genome, Robert M. Roudabush

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A novel 0.6 kb LINE family in human DNA, designated L2Hs, has been described (Musich and Dykes 1986). Studies employing clone N6.4, containing three 0.6 kb segments of this family, indicate that these sequences are interspersed and moderately repetitive. Two additional variant sequences of the L2Hs family, N6.1 and N6.3, have been identified. Restriction mapping of each cloned segment indicates similarities among N6.4, N6.3 and N6.1. When the cloned DNAs were cleaved with restriction enzymes and subjected to cross-hybridization, each cloned insert produced a pattern indicating that the sequences contained in N6.1 and N6.3 are represented in at least one …

The Purification Of Ribosomal Rna Gene Chromatin From Physarum Polycephalum, Sally A. Amero, Roy C. Ogle, John L. Keating, Vicky L. Montoya, Wendy L. Murdoch, Robert M. Grainger Jan 1988

The Purification Of Ribosomal Rna Gene Chromatin From Physarum Polycephalum, Sally A. Amero, Roy C. Ogle, John L. Keating, Vicky L. Montoya, Wendy L. Murdoch, Robert M. Grainger

We have undertaken the purification of ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) chromatin from the slime mold Physarum polycephalum, in order to study its chromatin structure. In this organism rDNA exists in nucleoli as highly repeated minichromosomes, and one can obtain crude chromatin fractions highly enriched in rDNA from isolated nucleoli. We first developed a nucleolar isolation method utilizing polyamines as stabilization agents that results in a chromatin fraction containing far more protein than is obtained by the more commonly used divalent cation isolation methods. The latter method appears to result in extensive histone loss during chromatin isolations. Two methods were then …
