Cloning with tandem gene systems for high level gene expression.
A method has been devised for increasing the copy number of a gene (or genes) cloned into a plasmid while minimizing the size of the plasmid. If n copies of a transcriptional unit are cloned, including the promoter, coding region and terminator, the size of the plasmid will increase by n times the total size of the unit. However, if we borrow the concept of polycistronic operon and sandwich n s...
متن کاملUnderstanding mechanisms of gene expression
Under ly ing the developing technology of plant genetic engineering is the knowledge that specific traits result from expression of discrete regions of the DNA molecules pres-. ent in each cell. These regions comprise the familiar, basic units of biological information and heredity, the genes. Proteins, the molecules whose activities finally determine the form and function of the plant, are enc...
متن کاملTowards a Molecular-level Understanding of Biological Processes by Unsupervised Analysis of Gene Expression Data
Biological systems are exceptionally complex processors of information, in which digital and analog processes are inextricably intertwined. While the analog processes are hard to measure on a genomic scale, we observe that the digital nature of genomic information has allowed the recent explosion of high throughput microarray data, which has enabled new breakthroughs in our understanding of the...
متن کاملDeveloping an Understanding of Interorganizational Systems: Arguments for Multi-Level Analysis and Structuration Theory
Strategies and policies for the adoption and development of interorganizational systems require further understanding of the theoretical background to these systems. An argument is made for development of theory that is multi-level, processual and has an emergent perspective. Such theory is needed to deal with a context where environmental influences are important in addition to complex interac...
متن کاملToward a systems-level understanding of gene regulatory, protein interaction, and metabolic networks in cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria are essential primary producers in marine ecosystems, playing an important role in both carbon and nitrogen cycles. In the last decade, various genome sequencing and metagenomic projects have generated large amounts of genetic data for cyanobacteria. This wealth of data provides researchers with a new basis for the study of molecular adaptation, ecology and evolution of cyanobacte...
