RJPrimers: unique transposable element insertion junction discovery and PCR primer design for marker development
Transposable elements (TE) exist in the genomes of nearly all eukaryotes. TE mobilization through 'cut-and-paste' or 'copy-and-paste' mechanisms causes their insertions into other repetitive sequences, gene loci and other DNA. An insertion of a TE commonly creates a unique TE junction in the genome. TE junctions are also randomly distributed along chromosomes and therefore useful for genome-wid...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Primer Design Program for Multiplex PCR
Multiplex PCR method is a powerful technology as a potent tool to amplify specific DNA fragments from genomic DNA using Taq DNA polymerase and primer sets. Since multiple reactions occur in single tube, multiplex PCR has the potential to produce considerable savings of time and effort. Its applications are widely ranged from in vitro cloning of specific regions of DNA to diagnosis of disease [1...
متن کاملPCR Primer Design
To make PCR a specific, efficient and cost effective tool for researchers and clinicians the most important aspect is oligonucleotide primer design. This review discusses various aspects of primer design. Advice is provided for optimal design and the role of bioinformatic tools is highlighted. The authors discuss theoretical considerations and compare computational and experimental studies.
متن کاملInsertion and excision of the transposable element mariner in Drosophila.
The transposable element mariner is active in both germline and somatic cells of Drosophila mauritiana. Activity of the element is greatly enhanced in the presence of Mos1, a genetic factor identified as an autonomous copy of mariner. A strain of D. mauritiana containing Mos1 and other copies of mariner was used to initiate a screen for visible mutations. More than 20 mutations were obtained, i...
متن کاملPatterns of Transposable Element Expression and Insertion in Cancer
Human transposable element (TE) activity in somatic tissues causes mutations that can contribute to tumorigenesis. Indeed, TE insertion mutations have been implicated in the etiology of a number of different cancer types. Nevertheless, the full extent of somatic TE activity, along with its relationship to tumorigenesis, have yet to be fully explored. Recent developments in bioinformatics softwa...
