چکیده

Chemical analysis and a study of renaturation kinetics show that the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, has a haploid DNA content of 8 x 10(7) base pairs (20 times the genome of E. coli). Eighty-three percent of the DNA sequences are unique. The mean base composition is 36% GC; a small component, containing the rRNA cistrons, has a base composition of 51% GC. The haploid genome contains about 300 genes for 4S RNA, 110 for 5S RNA, and 55 for (18 + 28)S RNA.

Determination of the effects of food preservatives benzoic acid and sodium nitrate on lifespan, fertility and physical growth in Caenorhabditis elegans

Presently, the use of protective food additives such as benzoic acid and sodium nitrate is quite common. However, it was found that these additives, which initially appeared to be harmless, led to the emergence of a number of health problems. Cancer and diseases and deaths with no apparent causes are among the leading concerns. Therefore, the studies which can reveal the genotoxic potential of ...

Tocotrienol Modulates the Expression of Proteins in Oxidative Stress-Induced Caenorhabditis Elegans

Objective: Oxidative stress that damages proteins result in aging and age related diseases. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) on the expression of proteins in oxidative stress-induced caenohabditis elegans (C.elegans) which has homologous genes to humans. Methods: The worms were treated with TRF prior to, after and continuously in separate group...

Use of repetitive DNA probes as physical mapping strategy in Caenorhabditis elegans.

A method for linking genomic sequences cloned in yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) has been tested using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system. Yeast clones carrying YACs with repeated sequences were selected from a C. elegans genomic library, total DNA was digested with restriction enzymes, transferred to nylon membranes and probed with a variety of repetitive DNA probes. YAC clones that ...
