A 66-base pair insert bridges the deletion responsible for a mouse model of beta-thalassemia. 1986

S Z Goldberg, and D Kuebbing, and D Trauber, and M P Schafer, and S E Lewis, and R A Popp, and W F Anderson

The breakpoints of the deletion responsible for the Hbb(th-1) mouse model of beta-thalassemia have been isolated. A 3709 (+/- 2)-base pair (bp) region, including the entire beta major globin gene and 2 kilobases of 5' flanking region, is deleted. A novel 66 (+/- 2)-bp sequence, ending in a stretch of 25 dA:dT base pairs, was found to bridge the deletion. A region of the normal murine genome, containing the first 43 bp of the deletion-associated insert (DAI), but lacking the 25-bp dA:dT sequence, was isolated. All normal mice tested contain this DAI-like element and several inbred strains contain an additional DAI-like element. The sequence spanning the Hbb(th-1) deletion may be a reverse transcript of this region.

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.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
