Gene Expression Analysis by DNA Computing

چکیده
DNA chips perform the rapid, parallel detection of a target set of gene transcripts through specific hybridization of targets to DNA probes integrated on the chip surface [1]. A DNA chip can thus be considered as a special purpose DNA computer for parallel homology search. Conventional DNA chips rely solely on hybridization for transcript detection. As a result, the recognition process for genome scale gene expression profiling (GEP) requires the use of very expensive, target-dependent, high-density DNA chips. In this paper we described more sophisticated but easy-to implement DNA computing (DNAC) algorithm for GEP. This algorithm does not require the use of a target-dependent high-density DNA chip. Indeed, GEP is achieved using a universal DNA chip with a small number of DNA probes, whose sequences have been optimized for accurate and quantitative hybridization.

Evaluation of Cell Penetrating Peptide Delivery System on HPV16E7 Expression in Three Types of Cell Line
Background: The poor permeability of the plasma and nuclear membranes to DNA plasmids are two major barriers for the development of these therapeutic molecules. Therefore, success in gene therapy approaches depends on the development of efficient and safe non-viral delivery systems. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro delivery of plasmid DNA encoding HPV16 E7 gene...

Background: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a feasible method to preserve female reproductive potential, especially in young patients with cancer or in women at risk of premature ovarian failure. Vitrification has recently emerged as a new trend for biological specimen preservation. On the other hand, gene expression that changes during vitrification can influence oocyte maturation and need ...

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...

Background: Because of the protection of surplus embryos, Cryopreservation is usually used in ART. It is not clear, the vitrified-warmed embryos that have normal morphology, be normal in genetic level, too. DNA methylation of gene regulatory regions can causes inhibition of gene expression. We study effect of vitrification method of cryopreservation on DNA methylation and gene expression level ...

A new strategy for construction of synthetic gene encoding human basic fibroblast growth factor comprising DNA annealing-ligation and augmentation by polymerase chain reaction was introduced. The sequence of the gene and corresponding amino acid chain were modified in order to increase stability of the protein. First, 300 bp and 160 bp fragments of the gene were assembled from 18 oligonucleotid...

DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with polyethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...
