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

Cloning and transcriptional analysis of two threonine biosynthetic genes from Lactococcus lactis MG1614
TL;DR: Transcriptional studies showed no threonine-dependent regulation of hom-thrB transcription and a DNA fragment covering 155 bp upstream of the hom translational start site was functional in pAK80, an L. lactis promoter probe vector.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the 1-kb coffee RBCS1 promoter sequence contained all the cis-elements required for developmental and light-mediated control of gene expression and that trans-acting factors implicated in this mechanism are probably highly conserved between coffee and tobacco.
