Identification and analysis of genomic regions with large between-population differentiation in humans
Myles, S.; Tang, K.; Somel, Mehmet; Green, R. E.; Kelso, J.; Stoneking, M. (Wiley, 2008-01-01)
The primary aim of genetic association and linkage studies is to identify genetic variants that contribute to phenotypic variation within human populations. Since the overwhelming majority of human genetic variation is found within populations, these methods are expected to be effective and can likely be extrapolated from one human population to another. However, they may lack power in detecting the genetic variants that contribute to phenotypes that differ greatly between human populations. Phenotypes that...
Construction of various fusion proteins of recombinant citrate synthase from thermoplasma volcanium
Özdoğan, Seda; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biology (2004)
In this study, a strategy called gene splicing by overlap extension, 3Gene SOEing4, was used for the construction of the fusion proteins with the purpose of increasing the thermostability of mesophilic enzymes by incorporation of stability domain from a thermostable enzyme. Gene SOEing is a PCR-based approach for recombining DNA molecules at precise junctions irrespective of nucleotide sequences at the recombination site and without the use of restriction endonucleases or ligase. In fusion constructs, as th...
Analysis of self-processing mechanism of galactose oxidase by site-directed mutagenesis and heterologous expression in Escherichia Coli
Gençer, Burçak; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
In this study, self-catalytic maturation of heterologously expressed pro-galactose oxidase was analysed in E.coli by altering some amino acids which were supposed to play a crucial role in pro-peptide removal. Galactose oxidase (GOase; EC 1.1.3.9) from Fusarium graminearum; having a molecular mass of 68kDa, is a monomeric, copper containing enzyme with an unusual thioether bond. The enzyme is produced as a precursor with an additional 8 amino acid pre- and a 17- amino acid pro-sequence at the N terminus. Pr...
Detection of genetically modified insect resistant tomato via polymerase chain reaction
Sönmezalp, C. Zeynep; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
Tomato, which is one of the most important component of human diet, has been genetically modified to develop some properties like delayed ripening and insect resistance. In order to give a choice to the consumer, it is necessary to detect and label GM foods. This study was carried out to detect genetically modified tomato samples purchased from different food markets of Turkey. PCR method was used to detect genetically modified insect resistant tomatoes. The DNAs of collected samples were isolated according...
Detection of genetically modified maize via polymerase chain reaction
Aydın, Gamze; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
In recent years, foods produced by genetic engineering technology have been on the world food market. The biosafety aspects, regulations, and labelling of these foods are still contentious issues in most countries. It is necessary to have approval for the use of GMOs in the production of food. Thus, detection and quantification of GMOs play crucial role for developing regulations on GM foods. In this study, raw and processed maize samples were analysed for genetic modification using a DNA based detection me...
