Elegant biochemical work identified the DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) as a major apoptotic endonuclease for DNA fragmentation in vitro. Genetic studies in mice support the importance of DFF in DNA fragmentation and possibly in apoptosis in vivo. Recent work also suggests the existence of additional endonucleases for DNA degradation. Understanding the roles of individual endonucleases in apoptosis, and how they might coordinate to degrade DNA in different tissues during normal development and homeostasis, as well as in various diseased states, will be a major research focus in the near future.展开更多

One of the restriction enzyme, Rsal could differentiate all the six species/strains from one another. The three restriction enzymes yielded patterns which were of diagnostic value but Rsal appeared to be the best diagnostic marker for differentiating these isolates. A tree constructed based upon the band sharing amongst the isolates, produced trichotomy which placed strains from Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand in one group showing 94% homology, one strain from Bhopal (M.P) formed separate clade along with S. thermophilum with 72% similarity. These isolates, from Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Dehradun, showed only 51% similarity with the S. thermophilum by forming separate clade.展开更多

Methods: Hairpin siRNA templates targeting Pokemon gene were synthesized and cloned into plasmid vector psiRNA-Hineo. Three vectors derived siRNAs (psiRNA1, 2, 3) and one mocking psiRNAc (as control) were constructed. The recombinant Pokemon siRNA plasmids were constructed and identified using restrictive enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing, Results: Restrictive enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing revealed the successful construction of siRNA expression plasmids. Conclusion: Constructing siRNAtemplates targeting Pokemon gene may provide us with practical tools for further study the role of Pokemon gene in the development of some diseases and gene therapy of tumor.展开更多

The aim of this study was to use the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) as a fast, efficient and low cost method to detect the genetic variants of kappa-casein gene (k-CN) in Iraqi buffalo using three different primers specific for bovine k-CN to amplify the gene segment, followed by digestion using restriction enzyme (Hind III) for genotyping. DNA from 50 Iraqi buffaloes was extracted by phenol chloroform method. PCR was carried out in a final reaction volume of 25 μL and the reaction mixture was subjected to standard PCR protocol. The results of this work show that among the examined 50 Iraqi Buffalo were homozygous for the K-CN and genotyped as BB for all three primers but gave different bands. Thus PCR-RFLP using Hind III revealed all the samples to be monomorphic for this locus. The restriction digestion analysis of 397 bp PCR product of k-CN indicates the presence of two fragments of 154 bp and 225 bp for BB-genotype. A 437 bp fragment of the bovine genomic K-CN gene was amplified. One Hind III restriction site is found in position 346 of the amplified fragment of allele k-CN B, yielded 91 bp and 346 bp. Amplified products from Iraqi buffalo (530), after being digested with Hind III, yielded two separate DNA fragments of different sizes i.e., 160 bp and 370 bp. For the first time completed research such specifications in Iraq, for the first time using molecular biology in genetic identification. Our objectives of this study have been to aid in understanding domestication, Buffalo origin and their history and evolution, to identify genetically unique breeds, to provide an objective basis for conservation decisions and to aid the formulation of breeding plans.展开更多
