WashU-Zfish Project : Radiation Hybrid (RH) Maps To generate PCR fragments that contain the ends of PAC inserts that can be sequenced. Protocol by B Barbazuk, Washington University Zebrafish genome resources Project, USA. http://www.genetics.wustl.edu/fish_lab/frank/cgi-bin/fish/prot2.html
Extractions: from Brad Barbazuk Goal is to generate PCR fragments that contain the ends of PAC inserts that can be sequenced. For inverse PCR we cut the PAC once in the vector (near outward primer site) and once at unknown site in insert (and many other places outside these sites, that don't matter). Following ligation to generate small circles, PCR is performed with outward facing primers at the end of the vector that will amplify a product that contains the end of the insert. To increase the odds of getting an amplifiable product, we use two different enzymes (used singly!!) per pac end - NlaIII and RsaI for the SP6 end, and NlaIII and HinPI (or HhaI) for the T7 end.

Extractions: A new computer-based gene sequence analysis tool used to identify DNA regions involved in attachment to the nuclear matrix has been created by a researcher with the National Center for Genome Resources. The tool, called MAR-Finder, is available through the center's Web site at [NCGR URL not available; see http://www.futuresoft.org/MAR-Wiz/ MAR-Finder is among several new Web-based tools developed by the scientific staff at the center to analyze gene sequences or to improve access to the sequences and valuable annotation in NCGR's Genome Sequence DataBase. Scientists in academia and private industry use the database and bioinformatics services provided by NCGR to conduct leading-edge research in genetics, medicine and functional genomics. MAR-Finder, developed by senior computational scientist Gautam B. Singh, uses statistical inference to deduce the presence of matrix association regions, or MARs, in DNA sequences. MARs constitute a significant functional block within sequences and facilitate differential gene expression and DNA replication. MAR-Finder is ideal for researchers interested in DNA structure and identification of genes within a sequence. "MAR-Finder is a valuable tool and its development was a nice meld between a dry and wet lab. You can detect a matrix association region with the computer and test your prediction at the bench that same day," Krawetz said. "And appreciation for the role of MARs in controlling the expression of our genome is growing."

Genome Resource Facility - GRF Welcome to the genome resources Facility website at the London School of The Genome Resource Facility (GRF) website is an interactive information centre http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/itd/grf/
Extractions: The Genome Resource Facility (GRF) website is an interactive information centre relating to the practical use of microarray-based technology and analysis of data generated from microarray experiments. Why has it been created? The GRF has been created as a result of increasing technological developments within the field of genomics and in particular microarrays. Sequencing the genomes of a number of pathogenic microorganisms has allowed staff here at the LSHTM to carry out ground breaking microarray research within this field. The GRF website allows a wealth of information to be easily available for research students, staff and potential collaborators. We hope you find the GRF website useful and if you have any questions regarding microarrays or suggestions to improve the website, please do not hesitate to contact us. Who has created it? The GRF is a departmental initiative founded by Professor Brendan Wren and Dr Nick Dorrell of the Pathogen Molecular Biology Unit at LSHTM. The website authors and designers are Abdi Elmi and Ozan Gundogdu. What are the GRF sections?
Extractions: i-bio main menu human genome click here for more on the human genome The human genome is one of the most widely publicised and important scientific breakthroughs since the very discovery of DNA in 1953; a genome is the total genetic material in chromosomes, and the drive to complete the human one is an international project between many genetics companies. Having successfully mapped much of the entire human genome, scientists are now exploring what each gene does in relation to the overall human makeup. The mapping of the human genome continues to be refined, developed and improved upon by genomics companies all over the world, and also the Human Genome Project. The map of the genome provides a unique source of information on how people are "put together", involving structure, function, ability and location of all the individual genes. Genome sequencing technology and useful applications of genomics are constantly improving, and the human genome currently is considered a draft of the final expected result, as scientists refine their search to localising certain genes and traits that may provide beneficial uses in the future. There are roughly 30,000 known genes in the human genome, still far short of the 50,000 to 100,000 originally predicted. click here for more on the human genome top links document.write('<'); document.write('!

This major milestone involved two tasks: placing large fragments of DNA in the proper order to cover all of the human chromosomes, and determining the DNA sequence of these fragments. The assembly reported today consists of overlapping fragments covering 97 percent of the human genome, of which sequence has already been assembled for approximately 85 percent of the genome. The sequence has been threaded together into a string of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs arrayed along the length of the human chromosomes.

Extractions: Genetic maps BAC libraries Physical maps cDNA libraries The more than 25,000 species of bony fishes represent more than half of all living vertebrates. Among these, the perch-like fishes (Order Perciformes) includes more than 9,300 species (Nelson, 1994). We are working with laboratories around the world to develop genomic resources for one of the most diverse groups of Perciformes, the family Cichlidae (>1500 species). Cichlids (pronounced 'siklids') are found in tropical regions of the Americas, Africa, Madagascar and Sri Lanka, but achieve their greatest diversity in the Great Lakes of East Africa. The three major lakes in East Africa (Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria) each harbor a separate radiation of several hundred species. The radiations in Lakes Malawi and Victoria have occurred in roughly the last million years, making this the most rapid rate of speciation known in vertebrates, and a fascinating system for studying the mechanisms of evolution and speciation. These fishes are also excellent model organisms for studying the genetic and developmental basis for differences in morphology and behavior. Tilapia ( Oreochromis spp.
