Your answer should describe what each item is and how it functions in the cell. Diagrams, structure and sequence information should be included in your answer, as necessary. 1. Yeast artificial chromosome 2. RNA interference 3. Proteomics

The principle of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was first reported in 1971 (Kleppe et al., 1971), but it was only after the dis￾covery of the thermostable Taq DNA polymerase (Saiki et al., 1988; Lawyer et al., 1989) that this technology became easy to use

What Do You Know About Your Target? The sensitivity needs of your system are primarily determined by the abundance of your target, which can be approximated according to its origin. Plasmids, cosmids, phagemids as colony lifts or dot blots, and PCR products are usually intermediate to high-abundance targets. Genomic DNA is considered an intermediate to low-abundance target. Most prokaryotic genes are present as single copies, while genes from higher eukaryotes

Companies hire researchers, license ideas, generate much useful data that aren’t always published, and fund scholarships. Famil￾iarity with the corporate mindset, structure and resources can help you obtain what you need and avoid problems you don’t want. All Companies Are the Same?

Recombinant gene expression in eukaryotic systems is often the only viable route to the large-scale production of authentic, post￾translationally modified proteins. It is becoming increasingly easy to find a suitable system to overexpress virtually any gene product

Over the past decade the variety of hosts and vector systems for recombinant protein expression has increased dramatically. Researchers now select from among mammalian, insect, yeast, and prokaryotic hosts, and the number of vectors available for use in these organisms continues to grow

一、基因表达的概念 1、基因（gene）：从遗传学讲，基因就是遗传的基本单位或单元，具有编码RNA或多数情况下编码多肽功能的信息单位。从分子生物学看，基因是负载特定遗传信息的DNA分子片段

一、三种不同的RNA聚合酶 二、RNA 聚合酶的组成 三、真核RNA聚合酶的活性

一、顺式作用元件和反式作用因子 Cis-acting element：不编码任何产物的 DNA片段，能影响与之相联系的同一条 DNA链上的基因表达 :启动子。 Trans-acting factor （转录因子TF） 由调节基因编码，调节基因是一种特殊 的结构基因，其编码产物（RNA或蛋白质） 可以扩散，控制其他基因的表达
