The mouse ribosomal DNA amplification promoting sequence 1 is highly methylated and repeated in the genome.

چکیده
Upstream of the mouse 45S pre-ribosomal RNA promoter there are regions that are involved in enhancement of pre-rRNA transcription, origin of replication and promotion of amplification. We report that in different mouse strains and cell lines the enhancer region, which overlaps with the origin of replication, is hypo-methylated. Contrary to that the amplification-promoting sequences 1 and 2, identified upstream in the intergenic spacer, are hypermethylated. Hybridization results also suggest that amplification-promoting sequence 1 is repeated in the genome.

A convenient method to generate methylated and un-methylated control DNA in methylation studies
Methylated and un-methylated control DNA is an important part of DNA methylation studies. Although human and mouse DNA methylation control sets are commercially available, in case of methylation studies on other species such as animals, plants, and bacteria, control sets need to be prepared. In this paper a simple method of generating methylated and un-methylated control DNA is described. Whole...
متن کاملGenotyping of Candida albicans isolated from animals using 25S ribosomal DNA and ALT repeats polymorphism in repetitive sequence
Background and Purpose: Candida albicans is the most prevalent Candida species isolated from animals. Candidiasis can be systemic in animals or may affect a single organ, such as the mouth, urinary tract, and skin. The aim of the present study was to determine the genetic diversity of C. albicans isolated from different animals and investigate the presence of a relationship between host specifi...

Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...

Introduction: Long QT Syndrome is one of the arrhythmic disorders of the heart that causes sudden cardiac death in patients. Most of the investigations have focused on nuclear genome for finding genetic defects in these disorders, but some of the cases with LQTS cannot be explained by mutations of identified genes. It prompted the authors to focus on the mitochondrial DNA and monitor rearrangem...
متن کاملPredicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning
DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...
