Sequence-specific modification of genomic DNA by small DNA fragments.
Small DNA fragments have been used to modify endogenous genomic DNA in both human and mouse cells. This strategy for sequence-specific modification or genomic editing, known as small-fragment homologous replacement (SFHR), has yet to be characterized in terms of its underlying mechanisms. Genotypic and phenotypic analyses following SFHR have shown specific modification of disease-causing geneti...
متن کاملSequence-specific targeting and covalent modification of human genomic DNA.
We compare two techniques which enable selective, nucleotide-specific covalent modification of human genomic DNA, as assayed by quantitative ligation- mediated PCR. In the first, a purine motif triplex-forming oligonucleotide with a terminally appended chlorambucil was shown to label a target guanine residue adjacent to its binding site in 80% efficiency at 0.5 microM. Efficiency was higher in ...
متن کاملSequence-specific modification of a beta-thalassemia locus by small DNA fragments in human erythroid progenitor cells.
Gene therapy has been proposed as a definitive cure of beta-thalassemia. We applied a gene targeting approach, based on the introduction of small DNA fragments (SDF) into erythroid progenitor cells, to specifically modify the beta-globin gene sequence at codon 39. The strategy was first tested in normal individuals by delivering mutant SDF that were able to produce the beta-39 (C->T) mutation. ...
متن کاملGeneration of genomic mini-libraries by Taq DNA polymerase modification of genomic fragments.
When cloning genomic DNA fragments, the efficiency is greatly reduced as the size of the restriction fragment increases. Libraries derived from the total genome are therefore biased because shorter fragments will be cloned preferentially. When cloning a particular gene, it is most desirable to determine a restriction enzyme that will generate a fragment of a reasonable size for the gene of inte...
متن کاملDirect PCR of small genomic DNA fragments from serum.
A simple and rapid method is described where human genomic DNA suitable for PCR was prepared from serum by microwave irradiation. We were able to reproducibly amplify single-copy gene sequences up to 442 bp from small quantities of serum without the need for DNA extraction. Genotyping results obtained from serum samples were shown to be identical to those derived from purified DNA from the same...
