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

Characterisation of Muta™Mouse λgt10-lacZ transgene: evidence for in vivo rearrangements.
TL;DR: The model for λgt10-lacZ transgene organisation, and the PCR-based methods for assessing copy number, integrity and rearrangements, potentially extends the use of Muta™Mouse construct for direct, genomic-type assays that detect the effects of clastogens and aneugens, without depending on an E.coli host, for reporting effects.

Biochemical genetics of glucosinolate modification in Arabidopsis and Brassica
TL;DR: Fine mapping of the glucosinolate biosynthesis gene OHP in an Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia × Landsberg erecta RI line population positioned the gene within 54 kb of DNA on chromosome IV, identifying a family of genes encoding 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases in this region.

Identification and function of a polyketide synthase gene responsible for 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-melanin pigment biosynthesis in Ascochyta rabiei
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that A. rabiei uses a DHN-melanin pathway for pigmentation of pycnidia and this molecule may protect pycnidiospores from UV irradiation, and an orthologous PKS1 gene from Bipolaris oryzae into the genome of the mutants complemented the dysfunctional ArP KS1 gene.
