Sequencing bears fruit

Genomic sequencing of Pleistocene cave bears.

Despite the greater information content of genomic DNA, ancient DNA studies have largely been limited to the amplification of mitochondrial sequences. Here we describe metagenomic libraries constructed with unamplified DNA extracted from skeletal remains of two 40,000-year-old extinct cave bears. Analysis of approximately 1 megabase of sequence from each library showed that despite significant ...

Isolation and sequencing of tomato fruit sucrose synthase cDNA.

Suc synthase (EC 2. 4. 1. 13) catalyzes the reversible reaction: Suc + UDP c-, UDP-Glc + Fru. In plants, its main physiological function is to cleave Suc and generate UDPGlc, which is used in such diverse pathways as starch synthesis, cell wall component synthesis, and energy generation (Huber and Akazawa, 1986; Sung et al., 1988). It has been demonstrated that Suc synthase is a key enzyme duri...
