Identification of Genetic Elements Associated with EPSPS Gene Amplification
Weed populations can have high genetic plasticity and rapid responses to environmental selection pressures. For example, 100-fold amplification of the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene evolved in the weed species Amaranthus palmeri to confer resistance to glyphosate, the world's most important herbicide. However, the gene amplification mechanism is unknown. We sequenced t...
متن کاملCommon Genetic Variant of insig2 Gene rs7566605 Polymorphism Is Associated with Severe Obesity in North India
Background: Obesity is a very common disorder resulting from an imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure, and it has a substantial impact on the development of chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the association of INSIG2 (rs7566605) gene polymorphism with obesity and obesity associated phenotypes in North Indian subjects. Methods: The variants were investig...
متن کاملgenetic elements associated with antimicrobial resistance among intestinal bacteria
background: integrons are the major reasons of multidrug resistance (mdr) among enteropathogenic bacteria. occurrence of horizontal gene transfer between integron-carrying microorganisms and other enteric bacteria may increase the rate of emergence of integron-associated antibiotic resistance. objectives: the objective of this study was to investigate class 1 integrons among members of enteropa...
متن کاملInverted repeats as genetic elements for promoting DNA inverted duplication: implications in gene amplification.
Inverted repeats are important genetic elements for genome instability. In the current study we have investigated the role of inverted repeats in a DNA rearrangement reaction using a linear DNA substrate. We show that linear DNA substrates with terminal inverted repeats can efficiently transform Escherichia coli. The transformation products contain circular inverted dimers in which the DNA sequ...
متن کاملIdentification and regulation of tissue-specific cis-acting elements associated with the human AP-2alpha gene.
Mice lacking transcription factor AP-2alpha exhibit defects in the formation of the head, body wall, heart, neural tube, eye, and limbs, reflecting important sites of AP-2alpha expression in the developing embryo. AP-2alpha is also expressed in the postnatal mammary gland and has been linked to tumor progression and defects in growth regulation in the breast. We have used a transgenic mouse app...
