An enhancer trap is a transgene transgenic construction for the identification of Enhancergenetics enhancers , produced by the fusing of two proteins, genes for which are inserted into the genome . The enhancer trap structure contains a mobile element necessary for random insertion in the genome usually some sort of P element a Promoter biology promoter that must be sensitive to the enhancer and a reporter gene. The reporter gene is necessary for identification of the spatial regulation by enhancers. The most common and basic enhancer traps are P lacZ from the bacterium Escherichia coli E. coli and P GAL4 UAS system GAL4 from yeast . The enhancer trap also uses some sort of visible marker that allows the new insertions to be recognized such as the white gene, resulting in a red eye color in Drosophila or ampicillin resistance for E. coli . There exists a large number of fly stocks containing GAL4 insertions and an equally large number of fly stocks containing an UAS DNA sequence followed by a gene of interest. The beauty of this arrangement is that the expression of a large number of genes with different GAL4 drivers is possible. Rather than generating transgenic flies with the enhancer linked directly to the gene of interest this takes about a year, if you are starting without the appropriate DNA construct , you simply mate cross one transgenic fly with another transgenic fly. ref A.

Application Enhancer APE is a software program released by Unsanity for Apple Inc. Apple s Mac OS X operating system . Application Enhancer provides a Software framework framework that allows third party software developer developers to write haxie s for OS X. It also provides a daemon computer software daemon to load haxies when certain applications are launched. These haxies, or plugins, are known as application enhancer modules, or APEs. Once the APE is loaded by the daemon, the module modifies the behavior of an existing application. Examples include allowing the Mac OS 9 classic Mac OS WindowShade computer WindowShade behavior, or adding removing OS X s brushed aluminum theme to all applications. Application Enhancer is freeware , but modules may be distributed as freeware, shareware , or commercial software. A license for the Application Enhancer SDK required by developers to deploy haxies is 100 for shareware products and 1000 for commercial products. ref http unsanity.com haxies ape sdk APE Software Development Kit Info ref Leopard compatibility issues With the release of Mac OS X v10.5 , users running an outdated copy of APE 2.0.1 or earlier began to report problems with their upgraded Leopard systems.

An exonic splicing enhancer ESE is a DNA sequence motif consisting of 6 bases within an exon that directs, or enhances, accurate splicing genetics splicing of hetero nuclear RNA hnRNA or pre mRNA into messenger RNA mRNA . The Basics The central dogma of molecular biology states that all of the information that makes you unique is housed in the cell nucleus nucleus of every cell biology cell in your body in the form of DNA . The human DNA is a string of 3.2 billion base pairs . Short sequences of DNA are transcribed to RNA then this RNA is translated to a protein . A gene located in the DNA will contain introns and exons . Part of the process of preparing the RNA includes splicing genetics splicing out the introns, sections of RNA that do not code for protein. The presence of exonic splicing enhancers is essential for proper identification of splice sites by the cellular machinery. Research Computational methods were used to identify 238 candidate ESEs. ESEs are clinically significant because synonymous point mutations previously thought to be silent mutations located in an ESEs can lead to exon skipping and the production of a non functioning protein.

Bacterial genetics is the subfield of genetics devoted to the study of bacteria. Bacterial genetics are subtly different from eukaryotic genetics, however bacteria still serve as a good model for animal genetic studies. One of the major distinctions between bacterial and eukaryotic genetics stems from the bacteria s lack of membrane bound organelles this is true of all prokaryotes. While it is a fact that there are prokaryotic organelles, they are never bound by a lipid membrane, but by a shell of proteins , necessitating protein synthesis occur in the cytoplasm .

Context date October 2009 CCAAT enhancer binding proteins or C EBPs are a family of transcription factors , composed of six members called C EBP to C EBP . They promote the expression of certain genes through interaction with their Promoter biology promoter . Once bound to DNA, C EBPs can recruit so called coactivators such as CBP, see ref. 2 that, in turn, can open up chromatin structure, or recruit basal transcription factors. C EBP proteins interact with the CCAAT cytidine cytidine adenosine adenosine thymidine box motif, which is present in several gene Promoter biology promoters . They are characterized by a highly conservation genetics conserved basic leucine zipper bZIP domain at the C terminus. This domain is involved in dimerization and DNA binding, like other transcription factors of the leucine zipper family like c Fos and Jun. C EBPs bZIP domain structure is composed of an helix that forms a coiled coil structure when it protein dimer dimerizes . The different members of C EBP family can form homodimers, heterodimers with another form of the C EBPs and with other transcription factors that may or may not contain the leucine zipper domain. The dimerization is required for the activity of C EBPs to bind specifically to DNA through a palindromic sequence in the major ... ref References Reflist 1. Ramji, D.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Classical genetics consists of the technique and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology . A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryote s was genetic linkage . The observation that some gene s do not segregate independently at meiosis broke the laws of Mendelian inheritance , and provided science with a way to map characteristics to a location on the chromosome s. Linkage maps are still used today, especially in breeding for plant improvement . After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of Clone genetics cloning as restriction enzyme s, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molecular discoveries, but many remain intact and in use. Classical genetics is often contrasted with reverse genetics , and aspects of molecular biology are sometimes referred to as molecular genetics .
