Sequencing the DNA That Encodes Those Tiny Fingers and Toes

چکیده
Since its introduction in the 1980s, non-invasive ultrasound technology has developed rapidly, replacing grainy images with high-resolution video of every heartbeat, yawn, and hiccup. In contrast, wholegenome sequencing of fetal DNA is truly in its infancy. The hurdles are numerous, involving the identification of a non-invasive technique to access fetal DNA and the ability to sequence the fetal genome with an accuracy that meets the stringent requirements for a clinical assay.

Cloning and sequencing of Toxoplasma gondii major surface antigen (SAG1) gene
Genetic typing methods of T. gondii strains have been extensively perfected in recent years. From a technical point of view, many tools usable for genetic studied on single-copy loci have been used: RFLP, PCR-RFLP, sequencing, RAPD-PCR and isoenzyme analysis. We described the cloning and sequence analysis of the gene which encodes the major surface antigen (SAG1 or P30) of T. gondii. SAG1 is ...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF LEISHMANOLYSIN GENE FROM LEISHMANIA MAJOR IN PRIMATE CELL LINES
Leishmanolysin is a worldwide disease that is caused by different species of the genus Leishmania. Leishmanolysin, One of the genes expressed by Leishmania, appears to be an ideal candidate for genetic vaccination. In this study, a full length sequence, which encodes Leishmanolysin functionally critical regions (amino acids 100-579), was cloned from a Leishmania strain endemic to Iran. Analysis...

متن کاملComparison of cattle BoLA-DRB3 typing by PCR-RFLP, direct sequencing, and high-resolution DNA melting curve analysis
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) represents an important genetic marker for manipulation to improve the health and productivity of cattle. It is closely associated with numerous disease susceptibilities and immune responses. Bovine MHC, also called bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA), is considered as a suitable marker for genetic diversity studies. In cattle, most of the polymorphisms are lo...
متن کاملSympathetic responses to hand-arm vibration and symptoms of the foot.
Vibration syndrome is generally considered to consist of disorders in the upper extremities which are directly exposed to vibration. However, it has been shown that vibration syndrome patients have circulatory disturbances in the foot as well: several chain-saw operators, who were little exposed to vibration of the foot, had Raynaud's phenomenon of the toes, and those with frequent attacks of v...
