Abstract

Alterations of the DNA methylation pattern have been related to generalized chromosomal disruption and inactivation of multiple tumor suppressor genes in neoplasia. To screen for tumor-specific alterations and to make a global assessment of methylation status in cancer cells, we have modified the methylated CpG island amplification method to generate easily readable fingerprints representing the cell's DNA methylation profile. The method is based on the differential cleavage of isoschizomers with distinct methylation sensitivity. Specific adaptors are ligated to the methylated ends of the digested genomic DNA. The ligated sequences are amplified by PCR using adaptor- specific primers extended at the 3' end with two to four arbitrarily chosen nucleotidic residues to reduce the complexity of the product. Fingerprints consist of multiple anonymous bands, representing DNA sequences flanked by two methylated sites, which can be isolated and individually characterized. Hybridization of the whole product to metaphase chromosomes revealed that most bands originate from the isochore H3, which identifies the regions of the genome with the highest content of CpG islands and genes. Comparison of the fingerprints obtained from normal colon ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
