Recent evolution of DNA sequence homology in the pericentromeric regions of human acrocentric chromosomes. 1984

A search for genes located on human chromosome 21 resulted in the isolation of a HeLa cDNA clone, pUNC724, which hybridized to 3.7 and 2.5 kilobase (kb) EcoRI fragments on each of the human acrocentric chromosomes. In situ hybridization further localized pUNC724 to the pericentromeric region of the human acrocentrics. Two other EcoRI fragments that hybridized to pUNC724 were assigned to the long arms of chromosomes 1 and 18. The pUNC724 sequence does not appear to be related to ribosomal or satellite DNA sequences. The juxtaposition of DNA sequences homologous to pUNC724 and ribosomal DNA sequences presumably occurred within the past thirty-five million years, following the divergence of the lines leading to man and the New World owl monkey, Aotus trivirgatus--pUNC724 is not syntenic with the single chromosome containing ribosomal DNA sequences in the owl monkey.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
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).
