Maxam-Gilbert method of DNA sequencingmaryamshah13
Maxam-Gilbert sequencing uses chemicals to cut DNA fragments at specific bases, allowing the sequence to be determined. It involves separating DNA strands, radioactively labeling one, then breaking it up in four reactions that specifically cleave at adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine. The labeled fragments are run on a gel and their sizes reveal the sequence. Though it directly sequences DNA without cloning, it uses toxic chemicals and radioactivity, has a short read length, and is technically complex.
Animal cell culture media typically contain energy sources like glucose, amino acids as nitrogen sources, vitamins, inorganic salts, fatty acids, antibiotics, growth factors, and hormones. Most media also require an incubator to maintain optimal temperature, pH, osmolality, and gaseous environment for cell growth. Cell cultures can be grown adhered to surfaces or in suspension, and may have limited or continuous proliferation. Common applications of animal cell culture include vaccine production, cancer research, pharmaceutical drug production, and studying nerve cell function.
Antisense RNA technology uses single-stranded RNA complementary to messenger RNA to inhibit translation by binding to the mRNA and activating RNase H degradation of the mRNA. While RNAi uses Dicer enzymes, antisense RNA relies on RNase H. The first FDA approved genetically modified food, the Flavr-Savr tomato, used antisense RNA to inhibit the polygalacturonase enzyme and extend tomato shelf life. NIPGR developed tomatoes that could last 45 days using antisense RNA to silence genes responsible for loss of firmness during ripening. Antisense therapy is also being researched to treat diseases by introducing antisense RNA to pathogenic genes.
This Power point presentation describes various cloning strategies especially isolation of desired DNA/Gene to be cloned. It describes isolation of DNA/gene to be inserted in vector in 5 different situations.
This document provides instructions for preparing competent bacterial cells for transformation. Key steps include growing cells to mid-log phase, treating with calcium chloride to make membranes permeable, adding exogenous DNA, and applying a heat shock to induce DNA uptake. The resulting transformed competent cells can be used to take up exogenous DNA from their surroundings through their membranes. Proper preparation is important for achieving high transformation efficiency.
Knockout mice are mice that have had a specific gene inactivated through replacement or disruption with artificial DNA. This allows researchers to study the function of that gene. The technique was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology. The procedure involves isolating the target gene, engineering a modified DNA sequence, introducing this into embryonic stem cells, and implanting the modified stem cells into mouse blastocysts. This generates chimeric mice that can pass the modified gene to offspring. Knockout mice provide insights into gene function in humans and are used as models for diseases. They also enable drug and therapy testing, though some genes cause developmental issues if knocked out.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a family of DNA sequences in bacteria that contain snippets of DNA from viruses that have attacked the bacterium. These snippets are used by the bacterium to detect and destroy DNA from further attacks by similar viruses. Cas9 is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme that is associated with CRISPR and plays a role in the adaptive immunity system in bacteria, allowing it to cut viral or foreign DNA. The CRISPR-Cas9 system can be directed to cut DNA at specific locations by specifying the RNA component. This enables applications such as gene editing, gene regulation, and genome engineering.

Biological databases store and organize biological data and information. There are two main types - primary databases that contain original experimental data that cannot be changed, and secondary databases that contain derived data analyzed from primary sources. Examples of primary databases include GenBank for DNA sequences and SWISS-PROT for protein sequences. Secondary databases include PROSITE for protein families and domains, and Pfam for protein family alignments. Biological databases allow sharing of genomic and protein information worldwide and provide a foundation for research.
transfection and invitro packaging of phage genomeNOMI KhanS
There are two main methods for introducing recombinant phage DNA into bacterial cells: transfection and in vitro packaging. Transfection involves mixing purified phage DNA with competent bacterial cells and inducing DNA uptake via heat shock. In vitro packaging involves using proteins from defective phage strains to package recombinant lambda DNA into phage particles outside of cells. These phage particles can then infect bacterial cells. Recombinant phages can be identified by their ability to form clear plaques on indicator plates due to inactivation of genes like lacZ or CI upon insertion of foreign DNA.
The document discusses DNA-DNA hybridization, a technique used in bacterial taxonomy since the 1960s. It involves breaking genomic DNA into fragments, denaturing the strands, and allowing complementary strands to reanneal. The stability of the hybridization product, measured by melting temperature, indicates genetic relatedness between strains and is used to delineate bacterial species. More recently, DNA microarrays have been used to conduct high-throughput DNA-DNA hybridization comparisons to construct similarity dendrograms and classify bacterial relationships.
This document discusses the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technique. It begins with an introduction to CRISPR as an adaptive immune system in bacteria.

Some applications include modifying crop plants and research in mice embryos. However, using CRISPR in human embryos raises ethical concerns about germline editing and unintended consequences.
Gene cloning involves copying a gene and inserting it into a self-replicating vector to produce multiple copies of the gene. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a technique used to amplify specific genes. Both gene cloning and PCR are important for obtaining pure samples of genes and amplifying them for various applications like sequencing, expression of proteins, and genetic engineering.

Common cell culture media include Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, and RPMI-1640.
CDNA Library preparation. ppt for Jamil sirNushrat Jahan
cDNA is produced from mRNA found in the nucleus and contains only the expressed genes of an organism. To create a cDNA library, mRNA is first extracted and purified from a cell, then reverse transcribed into cDNA using an oligo-dT primer that binds to the poly-A tail. The resulting single-stranded cDNA is converted into double-stranded DNA and cloned into plasmids in bacteria. cDNA libraries are useful for reproducing eukaryotic genomes without introns, expressing eukaryotic genes in prokaryotes, discovering novel genes, and studying alternative splicing in different cells.

Recombinant DNA technology allows DNA from different sources to be combined to form artificial DNA molecules. This is done by cutting the DNA with restriction enzymes and joining the pieces together with DNA ligase. The artificial DNA can then be inserted into host cells where it is replicated. This technology was developed in 1973 and has many important applications, including producing human insulin in bacteria to treat diabetes, creating genetically modified crops with desirable traits, and producing other proteins and vaccines. The basic steps involve isolating DNA, cutting it with restriction enzymes, ligating the pieces, introducing the DNA into host cells, replicating the DNA within the cells, and identifying cells containing the recombinant DNA.

This document discusses herd health programs for native pig production. It outlines the epidemiologic triad and describes key elements of a herd health program including biosecurity, vaccination against hog cholera, and control of internal and external parasites. Common diseases of pigs are also listed, along with signs of unhealthy animals and preventive measures. First aid recommendations for diarrhea, fever and colds in pigs are provided.
Breed development, production and commecial utilization of native pigsPerez Eric
- Native pigs are an important part of rural farming communities in the Philippines, providing food security, income, and cultural/social roles. However, native pig production typically remains a small-scale backyard activity without consistent profits.
- There is increasing demand for organically and naturally produced foods, as well as interest in conserving native genetic resources. Improved native pig breeds are desired that are adapted to local conditions but also provide uniform, predictable production and product quality.
- A strategy is proposed to develop homogeneous but genetically diverse native pig populations through organized breeding programs, improved production systems, and marketing of native pig products.

The goal is to forge long-term research partnerships between researchers and industry to address disease challenges in livestock and poultry.
This document provides an overview of the Philippine Native Pig Business Summit that took place on November 21, 2018 in Cebu City, Philippines. It includes messages of support from government officials, the program agenda, and summaries of presentations on topics such as native pig production, processing, and marketing. The goal of the summit was to bring together researchers, producers, traders, processors and consumers to discuss trends and innovations in the native pig industry and promote its sustainable development.
R&D initiatives on Philippine Native Pigs Perez Eric
This document discusses enhancing Philippine native pigs to create livelihood opportunities through research and development. It outlines the value of native pigs in providing income and food for rural families as they are resilient to climate extremes. It describes strategies to establish more homogeneous native pig populations through selection while maintaining genetic diversity. This includes establishing true-to-type breeding populations to meet producer and consumer preferences for consistent quality and performance. Research demonstrates improvements in birth weight, 6-month weight and litter size through selection. Native pig production is shown to provide net income for farmers with the right management.
Science-based native pig production to meet quality requirements of native pi...Perez Eric
This document summarizes the presentation of Fabian Maximillan B. Cabriga on science-based native pig production in the Philippines. It discusses the current situation of small-scale native pig farmers, including issues like lack of training, standards, and market support. It then outlines how the Philippine Native Pig Owners Network Association was established in 2015 to address these issues. The association has helped organize farmers, establish stable prices, and promote native pork. It also describes Teofely Nature Farms, a model native pig farm started by Cabriga, and how it aims to produce high quality native pork and vegetables sustainably through good practices.
Benefits and Market Potential of Native Pig Lechon Processing and MarketingPerez Eric
Lechon, or roasted pig, is a Filipino delicacy traditionally made with native Philippine pigs. The document discusses lechon production in La Loma, Philippines, which is considered the lechon capital. Ping Ping Native Lechon & Restaurant is one of the established brands in La Loma that uses 100% native pigs for lechon. While there is steady demand, production is limited by the supply and high costs of quality native pigs. The lechon industry needs government support to address issues around native pig supply and transportation regulations.
Native Pig Trading and Lechon Processing and Marketing in CebuPerez Eric
Ms. Claire C. Silva owns Claire's Lechon de Cebu, which began in 1989 processing one pig per week and has since expanded to processing 10-15 pigs per week normally and up to 40 pigs on weekends during peak seasons. Native pigs from Negros and Bohol are used for their juicy and tasty meat. The pigs are slaughtered and seasoned in-house before being roasted over open wood charcoal. While lechon production has grown, challenges include fluctuating pig prices and quality as well as competition from other processors. Future plans include breeding their own pigs and expanding markets.
The document summarizes a FIESTA event held in Zamboanga City to promote the ZamPen native chicken breed. It discusses the 10 years of research that went into developing the ZamPen breed. The event featured exhibits, forums, and competitions to encourage local farmers and businesses to raise ZamPen chickens as a livelihood option. The goal was to connect producers with potential buyers and introduce technology that can help the native chicken industry. Samples of dishes made from ZamPen chicken were served to event attendees.
The FLS-GEM project trained over 2,500 goat farmers through 28-week courses focusing on improved feeding, breeding, health and waste management. This led to increases in productivity such as higher conception rates, shorter kidding intervals, and greater survival rates and kid weights. Farmers saw higher profits as a result, with income increasing by over 30% on average. The project had wide social impacts as well, with increased cooperation between farmers and new businesses developing around goat farming. The project was so successful that its training model was adopted as the national standard for goat production in the Philippines.
The document discusses an e-learning program on goat raising offered by the DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD). The program offers free online certificate courses on topics related to goat production. As of November 2017, over 2,100 students have graduated from the program, consisting of farmers, extension workers, businessmen, and overseas Filipino workers. Students can enroll by creating an account on the e-extension website and selecting from the available goat raising course modules.
The document discusses the Test-Interval Method (TIM), a common practice for measuring total milk yield (TMY) in small ruminants. TIM uses a formula that calculates TMY based on milk measurements taken at intervals after birth and between subsequent milkings. It originated as a way for farmers and organizations to evaluate goat performance and rank animals for selective breeding programs to improve genetics. TIM can be used on individual farms or in government programs.
This document discusses standards for slaughtering and cutting goats. It outlines proper procedures for transporting goats to slaughter, ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, and slaughter methods. Detailed cutting schemes for six prime cuts of chevon are also presented. Adopting these standards would help produce clean meat through proper hygiene, allow for higher carcass recovery, demand higher prices, and serve as a guideline for developing policies around goat slaughtering.
The document summarizes research on a herbal dewormer called MCM for goats. MCM is created from a mixture of three Philippine plants - makahiya, caimito, and makabuhay. Clinical trials showed MCM, administered as either a 500mg capsule or 500ul liquid twice at a 2 week interval, was effective at eliminating the parasitic roundworm Haemonchus contortus in goats. This led to increased health, milk and meat production in treated goats. The document provides details on the formulation, dosage, availability and pricing of the herbal MCM dewormer and encourages farmers to try and support this natural treatment option for healthier goats.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

is a branch of biology that deals with
the molecular basis of biological
activity. Chiefly concerns itself with
understanding and the interactions
between the various systems of a
cell, including the interactions
between the different types of DNA,
RNA and protein biosynthesis as
well as learning how these
interactions are regulated.
6. The cell is the basic
structural and functional
unit of all known living
organisms. It is the
smallest unit of life that
is classified as a living
thing, and is often called
the building block of life.

9. Components involved in
molecular biology
•DNA- Deoxyribonucleic Acid- contains the totality of the genetic
code consisting of two long chains of nucleotides
•twisted into a double helix and joined
by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases
•RNA- Ribonucleic Acid act as a messenger carrying instructions
from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, although in
some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic
information.
•Protein composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a
specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides
in the DNA coding
10. Gene : Unit of heredity
• The DNA segments that
carries genetic information are
called genes.
• It is normally a stretch of DNA
that codes for a type of protein
or for an RNA chain that has a
function in the organism.
• Genes hold the information to
build and maintain an
organism's cells and pass
genetic traits to offspring.
12. The Coding/ Non Coding
DNA
The coding DNA; the coding exons; this codes for
about 20,000 -25,000 genes which in turn code for
proteins that are responsible for all the cellular
processes. Exon
The non coding DNA; non coding sequences contain
information that does not lead to the synthesis of
protein. Intron
14. Basic Molecular Biotechniques
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) –basically used
to copy DNA. Different types of PCR include
reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) for
amplification of RNA and quantitative PCR
(QPCR) to measure the amount of RNA or DNA
present. Analyzed by gel electrophoresis.
15. Loop-Mediated Isothermal
Amplification (LAMP)
is a single tube technique for the amplification
of DNA. A low cost alternative to detect certain
diseases. It may be combined with a reverse-
transcription step to allow the detection of RNA.
16. Southern Blotting - Southern blotting was named after Edward
M. Southern who developed this procedure at Edinburgh
University in the 1970s. DNA molecules are transferred from
an agarose gel onto a membrane. Designed to locate a
particular sequence of DNA within a complex mixture. For
example, Southern Blotting could be used to locate a particular
gene within an entire genome.
Northern Blotting - detect specific sequences of RNA by
hybridization with complementary DNA.
Western Blotting - used to identify specific amino-acid
sequences in proteins.
Eastern Blotting - used to analyze protein post translational
modifications (PTM) such as lipids, phosphomoieties and
glycoconjugates. It is most often used to detect carbohydrate
epitopes.
