DNA Recombination by XPCR

چکیده
The first step of the Adleman-Lipton extract model in DNA computing is the combinatorial generation of libraries. In this paper a new method is proposed for generating a initial pool, it is a quaternary recombination of strings via application of null context splicing rules. Its implementation, based on a kind of PCR called XPCR, results to be convenient with respect to the standard methods, in terms of efficiency, speed and feasibility. The generation algorithm we propose was tested by a lab experiment here described, since the presence of few sequences is enough for checking the completeness of the library. The simple technology of this approach is interesting in and of itself, and it can have many useful applications in biological contexts.

Computing by polymerase chain reaction.
A mathematical notation is introduced to represent, at a symbolic level, different mechanisms of DNA recombination, and a 'PCR lemma' is proven by analytically describing the combinatorial properties of the polymerase chain reaction process. This approach led to the discovery of novel techniques, based on a form of PCR which we called cross pairing PCR (briefly XPCR). They were mathematically a...
متن کاملDNA Extraction by XPCR
The extraction of DNA strands including a given sequence of bases is a crucial step in the Adleman-Lipton extract model of DNA computing. In this paper, a special type of PCR is presented with a related algorithm which performs a specified extraction from a given pool of DNA double stranded (shortly dsDNA) molecules. This kind of PCR, called Cross Pairing PCR (shortly XPCR) was tested in severa...

This paper reports some experimental results validating in a broader context a variant of PCR, called XPCR, previously introduced and tested on relatively short synthetic DNA sequences. Basic XPCR technique confirmed to work as expected, to concatenate two genes of different lengths, while a library of all permutations of three different genes (extracted from the bacterial strain Bulkolderia fu...
متن کاملDNA Overlap Catenation by XPCR: A Theoretical Analysis
This paper proposes and investigates overlap catenation as a formal model of a special case of cross-pairing PCR, an experimental procedure used to recombine two DNA strands by using the DNA Polymerase enzyme. This study is part of ongoing efforts to provide a formal framework and rigorous treatment of DNA-based information and DNA-based computation. Other studies along these lines include theo...
متن کاملInitiation of Ageing Process by Meiotic and Mitotic Recombination within the Ribosomal DNA Genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In the budding yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae the tandem repeated of rDNA genes are located onchromosome XII, which is in the nucleolus. There are different types of proteins in the nucleoluskeleton,silencing proteins have got important role in nucleolus.It is shown that meiotic recombination between nonsister chromatids in the rDNA genes are stronglysuppressed, and s...
