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 کاملSigns of Genomic Battles in Mouse Sex Chromosomes
Y chromosomes are challenged by a lack of recombination and are transmitted to the next generation only via males. Sequencing of the mouse Y reveals how these properties drive opposing evolutionary processes: massive decay of ancestral genes and convergent acquisition and amplification of spermatid-expressed gene families on the X and Y chromosome. The convergent acquisition and amplification o...
متن کاملGenomics and genetics of human and primate y chromosomes.
In mammals, the Y chromosome plays the pivotal role in male sex determination and is essential for normal sperm production. Yet only three Y chromosomes have been completely sequenced to date--those of human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque. While Y chromosomes are notoriously difficult to sequence owing to their highly repetitive genomic landscapes, these dedicated sequencing efforts have gener...
متن کاملNovel Gene Acquisition on Carnivore Y Chromosomes
Despite its importance in harboring genes critical for spermatogenesis and male-specific functions, the Y chromosome has been largely excluded as a priority in recent mammalian genome sequencing projects. Only the human and chimpanzee Y chromosomes have been well characterized at the sequence level. This is primarily due to the presumed low overall gene content and highly repetitive nature of t...
متن کاملGene Discovery and Presentation Systems for Arabidopsis Genome Sequencing Project at Kazusa DNA Research Institute
Arabidopsis thaliana is a small weed in the mustard family Brassicaceae which has become the model organism for research in biology of higher plant. The 130-megabase genome of the plant is organized into five chromosomes and contains an estimated 20,000 genes. To understand the entire genetic system in this plants, we initiated large-scale sequencing project of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. ...
