Replication initiation point mapping

Methods : a Companion to Methods in Enzymology

Abstract

Replication in eukaryotes is bidirectional and semi-discontinuous. This asymmetry provides the basis for mapping the origin of bidirectional replication (OBR), which is the transition point from discontinuous to continuous synthesis. The regions of each DNA strand complementary to the leading strand or lagging strand can be measured by the methods of imbalanced DNA synthesis or Okazaki fragment distribution, respectively. The resolution of both of these hybridization-based procedures is a few hundred base pairs. Nucleotide resolution was previously achieved for viral origins by mapping the initiation sites of Okazaki fragments on sequencing gels. To overcome the background caused by nicked DNA, all DNA ends were phosphorylated, RNA primers were removed from the Okazaki fragments by NaOH hydrolysis, and the hydroxyl ends thus created were phosphorylated with 32P. Unfortunately, this method was not sensitive enough to map eukaryotic cellular origins. A new method, replication initiation point (RIP) mapping, that is 1000-fold more sensitive and has been applied to yeast ARS1 where the OBR is mapped to and 18-bp region from within element B1 toward B2 is described here. RIP mapping utilizes Vent (exo-) polymerase to extend from a l...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.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
