Nowadays this name is often associated by the media forensic techniques to solve crimes, paternity, medical diagnosis and, gene mapping and sequencing. The popularization of genetic engineering is consequence of its wide use in laboratories around the world and, developing of modern and efficient techniques. The genetic engineering, often used with trivia, involves sophisticated techniques of gene manipulation, cloning and modification. Many authors consider this term as synonymous as genetic modification, where a synthetic gene or foreign DNA is inserted into an organism of interest. Organism that receives this recombinant DNA is considered as genetically modified (GMO). Its production are summarized in simplified form in five steps: 1) Isolation of interested gene, 2) Construction, gene of interested is joined with promoters (location and control the level of expression), terminator (indicates end of the gene) and expression marker (identify the gene expression), 3) transformation (when the recombinant DNA is inserted into the host organism), 4) Selection (selection of those organisms that express the markers), 5) Insertion verification of recombinant DNA and its expression [1].","PeriodicalId":77144,"journal":{"name":"Genetic engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5772/56071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70950813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While mass spectral techniques for lipid profiling have advanced, challenges in developing uniform data acquisition methods and in handling, storing, and analyzing mass spectral data remain. Investigation of other ionization methods, including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), has demonstrated that these are useful in specific applications. APCI is particularly amenable to analysis of less polar lipids, and MALDI provides a rapid technology with application for tissue imaging.

As outlined here the method also can be used for global analysis of DNA methylation. One advantage of this approach is the ability to easily switch between different genome types without having to fabricate a new microarray for each and every DNA type. However, the method does have some disadvantages. Among the most rate-limiting steps of our PE-GST protocol are the need to concatemerize the diTAGs, size fractionate them and then clone them prior to sequencing. This is usually followed by additional steps to amplify and size select for long (> or = 500) concatemer inserts prior to sequencing. These time-consuming steps are important for standard DNA sequencing as they increase efficiency approximately 20-30-fold since each amplified concatemer can now provide information on multiple tags; the limitation on data acqui- sition is read length during sequencing. However, the development of new sequencing methods such as Life Sciences' 454 new nanotechnology-based sequencing instrument (41) could increase tag sequencing efficiency by several orders of magnitude (> or = 100,000 diTAG reads/run), which is sufficient to provide in-depth global analysis of all ChIP PE-GSTs in a single run. This is because the lengths of our paired-end diTAGs (approximately 60 bp) fall well within the region of high accuracy for read lengths on this instrument. In principle, sequence analysis of diTAGs could begin as soon as they are generated, thereby completely bypassing the need for the concatemerization, sizing, downstream cloning steps and sequencing template purification. In addition, our protocol places any one of several unique four-base long nucleotide sequences, such as GATC, between each and every diTAG pair, which could be used to help the instrument's software keep base register and also provide a well-located peak height indicator in the middle of every sequence run. This additional feature could permit multiplexing of the data by simultaneous sequencing of several pooled libraries if each used a different linker sequence during diTAG formation (Figure 4).</p>","PeriodicalId":77144,"journal":{"name":"Genetic engineering","volume":"28 ","pages":"159-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/978-0-387-34504-8_9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26429936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
