- Measurement of metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (HS), and ultrafine particulates (UPs) as well as bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing were performed. (cdc.gov)
Replication3
- Replication follows the DNA strand displacement model. (wikipedia.org)
- Some DNA differences result from the blunders during the DNA replication necessary for cell division. (cdc.gov)
- During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. (bvsalud.org)
Legionella2
- I became aware that DNA transfer can be a two-way process a couple of months ago when my University of Chicago colleague Howard Shuman told me about some of his work on Legionella pneumophila , the bacterium that unexpectedly caused Legionnaire's Disease in 1976 at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia. (huffpost.com)
- It should not be surprising that Legionella has the ability to acquire external DNA. (huffpost.com)
Gene5
- Earlier work in mice had shown that SCFAs are a crucial link between the microbiome and epigenetic states - the modifications to DNA that affect how active any given gene is. (indiaeducationdiary.in)
- To systematically create the ice-minus strain of P. syringae, its ice-forming gene must be isolated, amplified, deactivated and reintroduced into P. syringae bacterium. (wikipedia.org)
- Insert the ice-minus gene into normal, ice-plus P. syringae bacterium. (wikipedia.org)
- Keyword: PCR, DNA sequencing, 16S rRNA gene Abstrak Diare dapat disebabkan oleh infeksi bakteri. (adoc.pub)
- Using cells in the lab, the investigators designed mitoTALENs to bind and cut mitochondrial DNA that had a specific mutation in the gene Complex I, which causes LHON. (nih.gov)
Nanotechnology2
- The field of DNA nanotechnology has harnessed the programmability of DNA base pairing to direct single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) to assemble into desired 3D structures. (nature.com)
- It has broad implications for DNA nanotechnology and synthetic biology. (lifeboat.com)
Genetic6
- Reconstructing dinosaurs from ancient DNA has been dealt a blow with a new study finding genetic material can only last one million years. (abc.net.au)
- A strain of bacteria with an extensively revised genetic code leaks out of the lab. (singularityhub.com)
- Similarly, the engineered bacteria lost its ability to read the natural genetic code. (singularityhub.com)
- They could also find human genetic information in samples they'd intentionally collected while looking for human DNA - including in beach footprints, and the air in both occupied and unoccupied rooms. (cosmosmagazine.com)
- These include a lack of consent from people to have their DNA recorded, privacy breaches, and risks that their genetic information might be used for malicious or commercial reasons. (cosmosmagazine.com)
- Others result from mobile genetic elements snippets of DNA that are able to move between bacteria. (cdc.gov)
Outbreaks2
Vitro1
- Our aim was to develop a less complex in vitro model of the destructive effects of microbes on bone which might allow a better understanding of the recovery of mitochondrial or pathogen DNA over time. (lincoln.ac.uk)
Identify rapists1
- DNA profiles of the bacteria that live on pubic hair could help identify rapists, according to preliminary research. (abc.net.au)
Proteins2
- To do this, cells wrap DNA around histone proteins, which act like spools for the DNA thread. (indiaeducationdiary.in)
- In the lab, TAL effectors can be fused with DNA-breaking proteins called nucleases. (nih.gov)
Mechanism3
- Now we can suggest how the first bacteria exchanged DNA - it is not a mechanism developed to this specific purpose but rather as a common process that is a consequence of living and dying. (abc.net.au)
- One key mechanism of control that cells use is to organize the DNA so only certain parts of it can be accessed for the work at hand. (indiaeducationdiary.in)
- The mechanism the Hsal uses to protect itself from radiation is similar to Deinococcus radiodurans, a bacterium known for its radiation resistance. (dictionary.com)
Guanine1
- The four bases that make up DNA-adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine-always pair up in the same way. (thebulletin.org)
RRNA2
- The resulting data showed that the unique tags of all three bacteria were identifiable and quantifiable by shotgun and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. (atcc.org)
- Proses PCR menggunakan sepasang primer, yang merupakan oligonukleotida yang berperan sebagai amplifikasi molekul DNA, kemudian dielektroforesis dan diidentifikasi menggunakan suatu gen penanda yaitu gen 16S rRNA (Aris 2013). (adoc.pub)
Commonly1
- Of these, bacteria are the most commonly transmitted. (medscape.com)
Preferentially1
- Most bacteria live extracellularly, but some preferentially reside and replicate intracellularly. (msdmanuals.com)
Synthesis2
- HTBS recruits HIV reverse transcriptase, which nucleates DNA synthesis and is aided in elongation by murine leukemia reverse transcriptase. (nature.com)
