Structurally specific thermal fluctuations identify functional sites for DNA transcription
We report results showing that thermally-induced openings of double stranded DNA coincide with the location of functionally relevant sites for transcription. Investigating both viral and bacterial DNA gene promoter segments, we found that the most probable opening occurs at the transcription start site. Minor openings appear to be related to other regulatory sites. Our results suggest that cohe...
متن کاملIdentification of myelodysplastic syndrome-specific genes by DNA microarray analysis with purified hematopoietic stem cell fraction.
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a slowly progressing hematologic malignancy associated with a poor outcome. Despite the relatively high incidence of MDS in the elderly, differentiation of MDS from de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) still remains problematic. Identification of genes expressed in an MDS-specific manner would allow the molecular diagnosis of MDS. Toward this goal, AC133 surfac...
متن کاملExpression of Endoderm and Hepatic Specific Genes after in vitro Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Background: Human embryonic stem cells (hESC), which are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocysts, have been considered to be pluripotent cells. In this study we examine the differentiating potential of hESC into hepatocytes by characterization of the expression of endoderm and liver-specific genes. Methods: hESC were cultivated in suspension to form aggregates, the embryoid bodies. ...
متن کاملDNA MICROARRAY AND MUTATIONAL ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY VIRULENCE GENES IN XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA Project Leader:
The identification of genetic factors that enable Xylella fastidiosa to express Pierce’s disease symptoms is essential to the further development of several disease control strategies. One such control strategy is to use non-pathogenic derivatives of the Pierce’s disease pathogen itself to competitively exclude pathogenic strains in grapevines. We have made progress in the development of geneti...
متن کاملDNA microarray profiling to identify angiotensin-responsive genes in vascular smooth muscle cells: potential mediators of vascular disease.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) induces changes in vessel structure by its capacity to activate genes that are coupled to signaling pathways such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Using a DNA microarray containing 5088 genes and expressed sequence tags, we initially established a database of replicated experiments (n=4) to define the variance...
