Yeast artificial chromosome segregation from host chromosomes with similar lengths.

چکیده
We propose a new method for segregation of yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) from endogenous yeast chromosomes with similar lengths. The method is based on recently developed PNA-assisted rare cleavage (PARC) of genomic DNA. We apply the PARC procedure to YAC-containing samples of yeast DNA in such a way that host chromosomes, which electrophoretically comigrate with the chosen YACs, are selectively digested while YACs remain intact. These data demonstrate that a pool of appropriate PNAs can be used as an efficient tool for the PARC-based isolation of intact purified YACs directly from the host cells.

USE OF VECTORETTE AND SUBVECTORETTE PCR FOR THE ISOLATION OF TERMINAL SEQUENCES FROM Y EAST ARTIFICIAL CHROMOSOME (YAC) CLONES
Development of yeast artificial chromosome (Y AC) vectors, molecular cloning of large segments of chromosomal DNA, and their propagation in yeast cells has become feasible. Overlapping Y AC provides a route to the development of physical maps of entire mammalian chromosomes. A rapid method was developed to isolate and sequence termini of Y AC inserts quickly. The Y AC clone is digested wit...
متن کاملAn alternative pathway for meiotic chromosome segregation in yeast.
In meiosis I of most organisms, homologous chromosomes pair, recombine, and then segregate to opposite poles of the cell. Crossing-over is normally necessary to ensure the proper segregation of the homologs. Recently developed techniques have made it possible to study meiosis with highly defined artificial chromosomes. These techniques were used to demonstrate the existence of a system capable ...
متن کاملMeiotic Recombination on Artificial Chromosomes in Yeast Lyle
We have examined the meiotic recombination characteristics of artificial chromosomes in Saccharomyces cereuisiae. Our experiments were carried out using minichromosome derivatives of yeast chromosome ZZZ and yeast artificial chromosomes composed primarily of bacteriophage X DNA. Tetrad analysis revealed that the artificial chromosomes exhibit very low levels of meiotic recombination. However, w...

A cytogenetical study on 13 alfalfa (Medicago sativa) cultivars available in Iranian Forest and Rangelands Genebank was performed in order to obtain basic information on the variability in chiasma frequency/distribution, chromosome association and segregation. Such cytogenetic information is useful for planning hybridization programs. Cluster analysis of meiotic data and ordination of cultivars...
متن کاملChromosome manipulation: a systematic approach toward understanding human chromosome structure and function.
The prospect of manipulating human chromosomes in an experimentally tractable system has been an attractive, but elusive one ever since Murray and Szostak introduced the concept of an artificial chromosome constructed from isolated components a dozen years ago (1). Subsequent studies in yeast using the artificial chromosome system have provided numerous insights into the molecular nature of and...
