利用改进的Oligo-Capping法构建甘蔗茎全长cDNA文库

Oligo-Capping法是目前全长cDNA文库构建的重要方法之一.笔者在引进、消化和吸收的基础上,通过对特异引物和接头序列的设计,及cDNA扩增反应条件的优化,对该方法进行了一些切实可行的改进,形成了一套简便易行的技术体系.利用本研究中改进的Oligo-Capping法,成功地构建了甘蔗茎全长cDNA文库.综合评价结果表明,本研究中所构建的甘蔗茎全长cDNA文库的库容大于2.5x106cfu,重组率为91%,全长率高达88.9%.本文库的构建为进一步甘蔗茎中全长基因的克隆和功能基因的表达分析奠定了基础.     

油茶种子cDNA文库的构建

以湘林1号和湘林4号油茶优良无性系近成熟种子为材料,采用裂解法和改良的CTAB法提取总RAN;用磁珠法分离得到纯化的mRNA;在反转录酶和其他酶的作用下合成一链cDNA和二链cDNA;经与质料载体重组和转化大肠杆菌,成功地构建了世界上第一个油茶种子cDNA文库.经检测,文库存容量达106,重组率为88.21%.测序结果表明:克隆片段长度一般都大于600 bp,说明构建的文库质量较高,能够满足ESTs文库构建及从文库中分离筛选重要基因等研究工作的需要,为进一步研究奠定了很好的物质和技术基础.     

油茶查尔酮合酶和异构酶基因的cDNA克隆

查尔酮合酶和查尔酮异构酶是类黄酮代谢与色素苷代谢的关键酶.以油茶近成熟种子cDNA文库和EST文库为材料,通过分子克隆方法鉴定了1条查尔酮合酶基因全长cDNA和1条查尔酮异构酶全长cDNA.结果表明:油茶查尔酮合酶基因的cDNA含1479 bp,编码412个氨基酸,为目前最长的查尔酮合酶,与其它物种的查尔酮合酶具有极高的相似性,在进化上高度同源;油茶查尔酮异构酶基因的cDNA含899 bp,编码206个氨基酸,与茶的查尔酮异构酶基因高度同源,但与其它物种的相似性较低.     

Construction of cDNA Library from Populus euphratica

1 Introduction Populus euphratica is a salt tolerant tree species, which is mainly distributed in the desert regions in northwest China (Wei 1993). Moreover, it is the only large tree species, which can survive and develop into forest in these arid and saline-alkali areas. P. euphratica forest plays a very important role in restraining the expansion of desert, maintaining ecological environment in west China, protecting the biological diversity and raising the local people抯 living standard…

Relationship between three novel SNPs of BRCA1 and canine mammary tumors

The BRCA1 gene plays an important role in the development of human breast cancer, and recent research indicated that genetic variations of BRCA1 are also related to canine mammary tumors (CMTs). Here, using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), we cloned the 5′- and 3′-UTRs of BRCA1. By direct sequencing of the flanking sequences of the 5′- and 3′-UTRs of BRCA1, three previously unreported single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified, two (−1228T >C, −1173C >T) in the putative promoter regions and one non-synonymous SNP (63449G >A) in exon 23. Compared with 16 normal samples, the sequences from 34 CMTs suggested that SNP (−1173C >T) was associated with the development of CMTs (odds ratio (OR)=2.57, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07–6.15).
