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

Identification of a spliced leader RNA binding protein from Trypanosoma cruzi.
TL;DR: A yeast three-hybrid system was employed to identify a protein, XB1, which binds to the Trypanosoma cruzi SL RNA, a approximately 45 kDa protein which is homologous to the essential pre-mRNA-splicing factor PRP31p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Isolation of a pea ( Pisum sativum ) seed lipoxygenase promoter by inverse polymerase chain reaction and characterization of its expression in transgenic tobacco
TL;DR: Analysis of T1 transformants showed that the 818 bp 5′-flanking sequence drove GUS expression in seeds that was temporally regulated in a fashion similar to the accumulation of LOX mRNA in developing pea seeds; contrary to expectations, however, expression of the 8 18 bp promoter-GUS fusion was not seed-specific.
