Recombineering: genetic engineering in bacteria using homologous recombination.
The bacterial chromosome and plasmids can be engineered in vivo by homologous recombination using PCR products and synthetic oligonucleotides as substrates. This is possible because bacteriophage-encoded recombination functions efficiently to recombine sequences with homologies as short as 35 to 40 bases. This recombineering allows DNA sequences to be inserted or deleted without regard to locat...
متن کاملDesigning E1 Deleted Adenoviral Vector by Homologous Recombination
Adenoviruses are used extensively to deliver genes into mammalian cells, particularly where there is a requirement for high-level expression of transgene products in cultured cells, or for use as recombinant viral vaccines or in gene therapy. In spite of their usefulness, the construction of adenoviral vectors (AdV) is a cumbersome and lengthy process that is not readily amenable to the generat...
متن کاملCombining recombineering and ends-out homologous recombination to systematically characterize Drosophila gene families
Evaluating how an individual gene contributes to a particular biological process benefits greatly from a comprehensive understanding of all members of its gene family. Such knowledge is ideally obtained using multicellular model organisms, which provide rapid and decisive platforms for determining gene function. We recently established a novel transgenesis platform in Drosophila to systematical...
متن کاملHomologous recombination-mediated cloning and manipulation of genomic DNA regions using Gateway and recombineering systems
BACKGROUND Employing genomic DNA clones to characterise gene attributes has several advantages over the use of cDNA clones, including the presence of native transcription and translation regulatory sequences as well as a representation of the complete repertoire of potential splice variants encoded by the gene. However, working with genomic DNA clones has traditionally been tedious due to their...
متن کاملHomologous recombination
DNA damage, in the form of DNA double-strand breaks, poses a considerable threat to genomic integrity and cell survival. If left unrepaired, a single double-strand break is sufficient to cause cell death and, if repaired inappropriately, a double-strand break may give rise to a potentially oncogenic translocation. Double-strand breaks in genomic DNA may arise accidentally in a number of ways, i...
