The use of DNA probes in studies of human cytomegalovirus.
Hybridization assays provide a sensitive and rapid means for studying the molecular biology of viral replication and for identifying viral nucleic acid in biological specimens. Such assays are attractive because the detection of virus does not require intact virions or concomitant viral protein synthesis, both of which may be absent in a latently infected cell or in a virus-associated tumor. Fo...
متن کاملThe Human Molecular Clock and Mutation Process: A Characterization Using Microsatellite DNA
In the past decade, thousands of human genomes have been catalogued, either by whole-genome sequencing or by targeted genotyping. The variability between human genomes encodes invaluable information about human traits and genetic diseases, as well as human migration patterns and population interactions. A key challenge is to understand and characterize the evolution of the variability between h...
متن کاملExpandable DNA Repeat and Human Hereditary Disorders
Background & Aims: Nearly 30 hereditary disorders in humans result from an increase in the number of copies of simple repeats in genomic DNA, including fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, Huntington’s disease, and Friedreich’s ataxia. One the most frequently occurring types of mutation is trinucleotide repeat expansion. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the cause...
متن کاملAncient DNA from Human and Animal
Research on ancient DNA (aDNA) has the potential to enable molecular biologists and archeologists to decipher certain aspects of history by direct looking into the past. However, several major problems in this field limit the applicability of aDNA studies, most importantly contamination with modern DNA and postmortem DNA degradation. In this study we extracted and analyzed aDNA obtained from ~3...
متن کاملSpectroscopic studies on the interaction of Fe3O4@CaAl LDH@Lamivudine with the calf thymus DNA
In this study, we were synthesized Fe3O4@LDH@Lamivudine and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy,XRD and TEM. The interaction of this nanoparticle with CT-DNA was investigated by viscosity, circulardichroism (CD), Uv-Visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. Among all nanocarriers which applied as drugdelivery vectors, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with exchangeable anions in t...
