Partial sequence analysis of 130 randomly selected maize cDNA clones.

چکیده
As part of a project to identify novel maize (Zea mays L. cv B73) genes functionally, we have partially sequenced 130 randomly selected clones from a maize leaf cDNA library. Data base comparisons revealed seven previously sequenced maize cDNAs and 18 cDNAs with sequence similarity to related maize genes or to genes from other organisms. One hundred five cDNAs show little or no similarity to previously sequenced genes. Our results also establish the suitability of this library for large-scale sequencing in terms of its large insert size, proper insert orientation, and low duplication rate.

Molecular Cloning and Expression of Human Gamma Interferon (IFN-g) Full cDNA in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells
Background: IFN-g is mostly secreted by activated CD4+ , CD8+ T cells and NK cells. This cytokine has immunomodulatory, anti-cancer and anti-microbial effects and is important for prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of chronic infections and cancers. Objective: The purpose of this study was to clone the full cDNA of human IFN-g and express it in CHO cell line. Methods: Lymphocytes from a healt...
متن کاملSystematic isolation of genes expressed at low levels in inflorescence apices of Arabidopsis thaliana.
We constructed an equalized cDNA library from Arabidopsis inflorescence shoot apices including inflorescence meristem, floral meristem and flower tissue collected before stage 5 of flower development. The cDNA clones were arrayed on membranes and were differentially screened using cDNA pools from vegetative and inflorescence tissues as probes. Each clone was classified by expression specificity...
متن کاملGene enrichment in maize with hypomethylated partial restriction (HMPR) libraries.
A new technology was developed to assist gene-enrichment sequencing of any complex plant genome, employing maize as the test organism. Hypomethylated partial restriction (HMPR) libraries were constructed by using independent partial digestions with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes HpaII (5'-CCGG-3') and HpyCH4IV (5'-ACGT-3'). Fragments of 1-4 kb were purified and cloned, followed by se...
متن کاملZEMa, a member of a novel group of MADS box genes, is alternatively spliced in maize endosperm.
The identification of a number of cis-elements which direct gene expression in maize endosperm, and the characterization of corresponding DNA binding proteins, point to the interaction of different classes of transcription factors in this tissue. To assess whether MADS box genes are also involved in maize endosperm development, cDNA and genomic MADS box clones have been isolated. The three cDNA...
متن کاملcDNA array analysis of Japanese quail lines divergently selected for four-week body weight.
Decades of divergent selection for 4-wk BW has produced 3 lines of growth-selected Japanese quail. P line quail have been selected for >110 generations for 4-wk posthatch BW and are nearly 3-fold larger than the randomly bred control C line. The H line has been selected for high 4-wk BW for 52 generations and the L line has been selected for low 4-wk BW for 54 generations. To identify different...
