Genetic Applications of an Inverse Polymerase Chain Reaction
TLDR
The feasibility of IPCR is shown by amplifying the sequences that flank an IS1 element in the genome of a natural isolate of Escherichia coli.Abstract:
A method is presented for the rapid in vitro amplification of DNA sequences that flank a region of known sequence. The method uses the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), but it has the primers oriented in the reverse direction of the usual orientation. The template for the reverse primers is a restriction fragment that has been ligated upon itself to form a circle. This procedure of inverse PCR (IPCR) has many applications in molecular genetics, for example, the amplification and identification of sequences flanking transposable elements. In this paper we show the feasibility of IPCR by amplifying the sequences that flank an IS1 element in the genome of a natural isolate of Escherichia coli.read more

Evidence for horizontal transfer of SsuDAT1I restriction-modification genes to the Streptococcus suis genome.
TL;DR: Different strains of Streptococcus suis serotypes 1 and 2 isolated from pigs either contained a restriction-modification (R-M) system or lacked it, and results suggest that the SsuDAT1I system could have been integrated into the S. suis chromosome by an illegitimate recombination mechanism.

Origin of Pax and Six gene families in sponges: Single PaxB and Six1/2 orthologs in Chalinula loosanoffi.
TL;DR: The phylogeny of Pax and Six genes is analyzed and a model of the evolution of the Pax gene subfam families in metazoans is derived, illustrating a diversification of Pax genes into subfamilies mostly in triploblasts before the protostome-deuterostome split, whereas few subfam Families were lost in various phyla after the Cambrian explosion.

Calling cards for DNA-binding proteins.
TL;DR: This work constructed customized calling cards for seven transcription factors of yeast by including in each Ty5 a unique DNA sequence that serves as a "molecular bar code" that reveals the transcription factors that visited that region of the genome.
