We previously developed an analytical strategy based on cladistic theory to identify subsets of haplotypes that are associated with significant phenotypic deviations. Our initial approach was limited to segments of DNA in which little recombination occurs. In such cases, a cladogram can be constructed from the restriction site data to estimate the evolutionary steps that interrelate the observe...

We previously developed a cladistic approach to identify subsets of haplotypes defined by restriction endonuclease mapping or DNA sequencing that are associated with significant phenotypic deviations. Our approach was limited to segments of DNA in which little recombination occurs. In such cases, a cladogram can be constructed from the restriction site or sequence data that represents the evolu...

     The aim of this study was to use site directed mutagenesis technique to construct a vector in which serine363 and serine375 residues of the COOH-terminal portion of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) were substituted by alanine. These constructs are essential in studying G-protein coupled receptor kinase-mediated MOR desensiti-zation. The nested PCR carried out for conversio...

Bligon goat is one of the crossbred goats raised in Indonesia, which has a prolific nature, potentially increasing economic benefits. The gene that particularly influences traits Growth Differentiation Factor 9 (GDF9). This study aims to identify mutation analysis (SNPs and amino acid changes) restriction enzymes map GDF9 goats. Six pairs primers were used amplify target sequences by polymerase...

The type II restriction endonuclease SsoII shows sequence similarity with 10 other restriction endonucleases, among them the type IIE restriction endonuclease EcoRII, which requires binding to an effector site for efficient DNA cleavage, and the type IIF restriction endonuclease NgoMIV, which is active as a homotetramer and cleaves DNA with two recognition sites in a concerted reaction. We show...

The crossover points of nine intra-I region recombinant mouse strains were determined by restriction fragment analysis. The recombinants were examined for the presence of k and p haplotype specific DNA restriction endonuclease sites. These restriction sites were a Sac I site between the E beta and E beta 2 genes, a Hpa I site within the E beta 2 gene, and a Rsa I site approximately 1 kb to the ...
