The action of a number of restriction enzymes on DNA.RNA hybrids has been examined using hybrids synthesised with RNAs of cucumber mosaic virus as templates. The enzymes EcoRI, HindII, SalI, MspI, HhaI, AluI, TaqI and HaeIII cleaved the DNA strand of the hybrids (and possible also the RNA strand) into specific fragments. For four of these enzymes, HhaI, AluI, TaqI and HaeIII, comparison of the ...

Aims: To determine if the 600 bp PCR amplicon of D1/D2 domain region of 26S rRNA genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be used for pre-selection and identification of S. cerevisiae. Study Design: In vitro analytical study. Place and Duration of Study: University of Nottingham, United Kingdom; Study was carried out between March and September 2013. Methodology: Polymerase chain reaction amplific...

Acetoacetate decarboxylase (ADC) (EC4.1.1.4) of Clostridium acetobutylicum DSM 792 was purified to homogeneity, and its first 25 N-terminal amino acids were determined. Oligonucleotide probes deduced from this sequence were used to detect positive clones in partial gene banks derived from Sau3A and HaeIII digests with following ligation into the vector pUC9. In Escherichia coli, the 2.1-kbp Hae...

Helicobacter pylori urease subunit genes in 383 isolates from 10 countries were investigated by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (HaeIII) analysis. Eighty-two different ureAB profiles were documented by reference to known sequences. Variation among 51% of strains was accounted for by 10 predominant patterns, which provided a unique framework for categorizing isolates with geographic...

Cattle chromosomes were digested with two restriction endonucleases, MspI and HaeIII. The banding pattern induced by each enzyme allowed the identification and pairing of all individual chromosomes and consequently the elaboration of the karyotype. This method is rapid and technically easy, and proved to be of great utility in cattle cytogenetic studies.

Sporothrix schenckii isolates from China, Korea and Spain were investigated for mtDNA types based on restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns with HaeIII. Sixty-one isolates from China, 8 from Korea and 11 from Spain were comprised of 7, 2 and 2 mtDNA types, respectively. All the isolates belonged to Group B.

Calf satellite I DNA digested with EcoRI and PstI gives three fragments 643, 621 and 83 bp long. Two of them, the 643 and 621 bp were cloned using pBR 322 vector and analyzed by means of the MspI and HaeIII restriction enzymes.

Polymorphism. A HaeIII PCR-RFLP was identified in the ovine prolactin ( PRL) gene. Source and Description of Primers. Human genomic (Truong et al., 1984) and pig cDNA (GenBank accession no. X14068) sequences were compared to design primers to span the second intron of the prolactin gene.
