Isolation and characterization of two repetitive DNA fragments located near the centromere of the mouse X chromosome. 1985

C M Disteche, and U Tantravahi, and S Gandy, and M Eisenhard, and D Adler, and L M Kunkel

Two repetitive DNA fragments located on the mouse X chromosome are described. The fragments were isolated from a lambda phage library enriched in X-chromosomal sequences by flow sorting. Both fragments, which are repeated 20 to 50 times in the genome, were mapped to the mouse X chromosome by Southern blot hybridization to DNA from hybrid cells retaining the mouse X chromosome, by dosage analysis, and by in situ hybridization to mouse chromosomes. In mouse strain C57BL/10BK, one fragment appeared to be located only on the X chromosome, while the other fragment had homologous sequences on chromosome 11 in addition to the X chromosome. The latter fragment showed DNA variants between mouse strains, which are potentially useful for mapping. Both fragments cross-hybridized to another mouse species: Mus caroli. In this species, each fragment appeared to be located on the X chromosome, indicating that some X-chromosome repetitive sequences are partially conserved. In addition, one fragment cross-hybridized to human DNA.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D010582 Bacteriophage lambda A temperate inducible phage and type species of the genus lambda-like viruses, in the family SIPHOVIRIDAE. Its natural host is E. coli K12. Its VIRION contains linear double-stranded DNA with single-stranded 12-base 5' sticky ends. The DNA circularizes on infection. Coliphage lambda,Enterobacteria phage lambda,Phage lambda,lambda Phage
D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
