Introduction:
Band shift assay is a technique to study the interactions between protein and DNA. The assay is based on non-denaturing gel electrophoresis that runs complexes of proteins and DNA through it. The migration of either DNA or RNA is compared to the migration of a complex of particular protein with DNA or RNA. This study helps to reveal the degree and nature of binding between them. It is also termed as electrophoretic mobility shift assay. The Band shift assay is the separation technique for proteins, DNA and RNA, the mixture of interest is loaded onto an agarose gel and observed for speed, size, and shape.

Genetic Analysis: An Integrated Approach (3rd Edition)
- It is desired to isolate genomic DNA from liquid culture of S. cerevisiae yeast. A commercial kit will be used to isolate genomic DNA from this liquid culture. Answer the following questions to understand the strategy used by commercial kits for genomic DNA isolation. a) List all the steps from cell pellet preparation to DNA elution. b) With which feature can the membrane in the column that comes with the commercial kit bind DNA? c) Which component in the kit would you use to recover the DNA from the membrane of the column to which the DNA was attached?arrow_forwardChoose 1 or more than 1 RNA are extracted from liver cells and separated in agarose gel by electrophoresis side-by-side with a molecular weight marker. The separated RNA fragments are then transferred to an RNA-binding membrane. Next, this membrane is incubated with labelled probe specific for the gene X. This experiment determines: how many copies of gene X there are in liver cells. if the gene X is translated in liver cells. if gene X has a point mutation in liver cells. the chromosomal location of gene X. the length of the transcript of gene X.arrow_forwardDescribe the banding pattern seen in the gel. What does that tell you about the role of annealing temperature in gene amplification?arrow_forward

Gene Z E₁kb 1 kb The figure above shows a linear chronosome containing Gene X and Gene Z and the location of sites for the restriction enzymes EcoRI (E) and BamHI (B). Refer to this map as you answer the question below. If you digest this DNA with EcoRI, then perform agarose gel electrophoresis, how many bands, and what sizes, would you expect to see? a) Two bands on the gel corresponding to the sizes 2 kb and 6 kb b) Three bands on the gel corresponding to the sizes 1 kb, 6 kb and 8 kb. c) Three bands on the gel corresponding to the sizes 1 kb, 5 kb and 6 kb d) Four bands on the gel corresponding to the sizes 1 kb, 2 kb, 5 kb and 6 kb e) Four bands on the gel corresponding to the sizes 2 kb, 3 kb, 4 kb and 8 kbarrow_forwardA pyrimidine dimer which is a bulky lesion has mutated an E. coli cell's DNA.

- You are attempting to prepare a single gene knockout library using the pRL27 transposon system. You grow the donor E. coli in Luria broth containing both kanamycin and diaminopimelic acid (DAP) and your recipient Serratia rubidaea in plain Luria broth. You combine an equal ratio of donor and recipient cultures and plate the mixture onto Luria agar supplemented with DAP. After 24 hours incubation at 37°C, you create a cell slurry and plate the cells onto Luria agar aupplemented with kanamycin. After 24 hours incubation at 37°C, you find that no colonies grow. What best explains this outcome? A. Failure to supplement media with DAP B. Failure to remove antiobiotic containing media C. Failure to incubate for a sufficient length of time D. Failure to incubate at the appropiate temperature E. Failure to use the proper mating mix ratioarrow_forwardA series of exonuclease deletions were used to study the promoter of the rice hemA gene, giving the results shown below (the intact promoter is on top).

- Transcriptome analysis involves two separate methodologies: gene expression and RNA seq analyses. The 10 items below are a scrambled listing of the steps used in the two procedures. Identify the steps involved in RNA seq from the list below. Use the numbers in the list to refer to each step. Once the steps for RNA seq have been identified, write the steps in the order in which they are performed during the experiment. (1) DNA sequencing (2) Allow for hybridization and wash excess cRNA. (3) Mix labeled cRNA with array chip. (4) PCR amplification (5) Measure fluorescence intensity to determine abundance of transcripts. (6) Add labeled cRNA at each microarray location. (7) Map cDNA sequences to the genome of the organism to determine identity and abundance of transcripts. (8) mRNA isolation from cells (9) Prepare fluorescently labeled cRNA probes (10) cDNA synthesisarrow_forwardThe following is a section of the gene coding for bovine rhodopsin along with several restriction endonucleases, their recognition sequences, and their hydrolysis sites.
