TLDR
In this paper, Dispersed repetitive DNA sequences from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) nuclear DNA have been isolated as molecular hybrids in lambdagt and showed marked alterations in the size of the restriction fragments containing these repetitive DNAs.

The identification and high level expression of a protein encoded by the yeast Ty element.

TL;DR: Data show for the first time that Ty elements encode proteins and illustrate the general usefulness of high efficiency expression vectors for the detection of rare products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and molecular analysis of hybrids in the genus saccharomyces involving s. cerevisiae, s. uvarum and a new species, s. douglasii

TL;DR: Recombination, although markedly reduced, could be observed at both the chromosomal and allelic levels, implying a sporadic pairing in meiosis to allow genetic exchange.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Alu transposition in human lung carcinoma cells

TL;DR: It is shown that UV irradiation increased the frequency of inactivated gpt genes in the fusion cells by 100-fold and created a 5 bp insertion site duplication in the coding region of the gpt gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tau, sigma, and delta. A family of repeated elements in yeast.

TL;DR: Detailed sequence analysis of the tau, sigma, and delta elements revealed that all three contain significant regions of homology, suggesting that they are probably members of a single family derived from a common progenitor.

Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gel electrophoresis.

TL;DR: This paper describes a method of transferring fragments of DNA from agarose gels to cellulose nitrate filters that can be hybridized to radioactive RNA and hybrids detected by radioautography or fluorography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening lambdagt recombinant clones by hybridization to single plaques in situ

TL;DR: A rapid, direct method for screening single plaques of Agt recombinant phage is described, which allows at least 10(6) clones to be screened per day and simplifies physical containment of recombinants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of restriction fragments of T7 DNA and determination of molecular weights by electrophoresis in neutral and alkaline gels.

TL;DR: Electrophoresis in alkaline gels can provide accurate molecular weights for linear, single-Stranded DNAs, and should be useful in analyzing DNA for single-strand breaks, depurinations or topological differences such as ring forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome organization and genic expression.

TL;DR: Presented at the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium in 1951, this paper focused on regulation and development rather than transposition, and strongly reflected McClintock's newfound interest in theory.
