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

Rapid and efficient cdna library screening by self-ligation of inverse pcr products
TL;DR: A PCR-based method for directed screening of plasmid cDNA libraries and its utility in a screen of libraries used in the Drosophila EST projects is demonstrated, as well as the relative merits of directed cDNA library screening and RT–PCR approaches.

Thiamine plays a critical role in the acid tolerance of Listeria monocytogenes
Moira Madeo,Niamh O'Riordan,Thilo M. Fuchs,Marta Utratna,Kimon-Andreas G. Karatzas,Conor P. O'Byrne +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the acid sensitivity observed in thiamine-depleted cultures may be owing to an inability to produce acetoin, an enzyme required for acetoin synthesis from pyruvate, a proton-consuming process.

TL;DR: It is shown that fusion involving the MLL gene can be generated through various chromosomal rearrangements such as translocations, insertions and deletions, some being complex or cryptic.

Detection of stable pre-rRNA in toxigenic Pseudo-nitzschia species.
TL;DR: This work characterized the sequence diversity and physiological stability of pre-rRNA in the toxigenic marine diatoms Pseudo-nitzschia australis, P. multiseries, and P. pungens and found that pre- rRNA regions were always detectable and, in marked contrast to prokaryotic systems analyzed in this manner, were stable and abundant in both actively dividing and nondividing cells.

Phosphorylated OmpR Is Required for Type 3 Fimbriae Expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae Under Hypertonic Conditions.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that OmpR∼P acts as a critical factor in the regulation of the c-di-GMP signaling pathway, type 3 fimbriae expression, and biofilm amount in K. pneumoniae in response to osmotic stresses.
