چکیده

This section provides an overview of the genetic systems developed in the Archaea. Genetic manipulation is possible in many members of the halophiles, methanogens, Sulfolobus, and Thermococcales. We describe the selection/counterselection principles utilized in each of these groups, which consist of antibiotics and their resistance markers, and auxotrophic host strains and complementary markers. The latter strategy utilizes techniques similar to those developed in yeast. However, Archaea are resistant to many of the antibiotics routinely used for selection in the Bacteria, and a number of strategies specific to the Archaea have been developed. In addition, examples utilizing the genetic systems developed for each group will be briefly described.

Metagenomics is a discipline that enables the genomic study of unculturaled microorganisms. Microorganisms constitute two third of the Earth’s biological diversity. In many environments, 99% of the microorganisms cannot be cultured by standard techniques. Culture-independent methods are required to study the genetic diversity, population structure and ecological roles of the majority of o...

I-45: FISH and Array CGH for PGD of Cancer

We developed several FISH approaches to enable preimplantation genetic diagnosis of cancer predisposition syndromes. An overview of the applications and the results of those PGDs will be provided. In addition we developed several novel tools to genome wide screen for CNVs and SNPs in single cells. Those technologies are now being applied for polar body, blastomere and blastocyst screening for c...

Molecular phylogenetic and genetic variability of Fasciola gigantica in Kermanshah province, western Iran with an overview to understand haplotypes distribution in Asia and Africa

Over the last decade, diagnostic tools to detect and differentiate Fasciola species have improved, but our understanding of the distribution of haplotypes and population structure of this parasite is less clear. This study was designed to survey this gap in the F. gigantica epidemiology in Kermanshah province, western Iran from 2015 to 2017.Sixty-eight Fasciola isolat...

Genetic manipulation of Methanosarcina spp.

The discovery of the third domain of life, the Archaea, is one of the most exciting findings of the last century. These remarkable prokaryotes are well known for their adaptations to extreme environments; however, Archaea have also conquered moderate environments. Many of the archaeal biochemical processes, such as methane production, are unique in nature and therefore of great scientific inter...
