This document discusses the structure and replication of DNA. It describes DNA as a double helix composed of nucleotides. The four bases that make up DNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. DNA replication is semiconservative and involves unwinding of the helix by enzymes, followed by synthesis of new strands with complementary bases. The document also covers genetic material, transcription, the genetic code, translation, and mutations. It provides evidence that DNA is the genetic material from experiments by Griffith, Avery, Hershey and Chase, and Meselson and Stahl.
DNA replication is the process by which DNA copies itself exactly. It occurs in the nucleus and any mistakes can lead to mutations. There are three main steps: 1) the DNA double helix unwinds and separates, 2) enzymes bring in complementary nucleotide bases to each exposed strand, and 3) the new strands are formed resulting in two identical DNA molecules each with one original and one new strand, known as semi-conservative replication. RNA differs from DNA in using the sugar ribose instead of deoxyribose and bonding with uracil instead of thymine.
DNA replication is the process by which DNA copies itself exactly. It occurs in the nucleus and any mistakes can lead to mutations. During replication, one strand of DNA acts as a template for the other new strand. The key steps are that the DNA double helix unwinds and separates, enzymes bring in complementary nucleotide bases, and the new bases are inserted to form two new DNA molecules, each with one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. This is known as semi-conservative replication.
DNA contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms. It is made up of nucleotides with a phosphate group, sugar, and one of four nitrogenous bases. DNA replicates through the process of DNA replication in which the double helix unwinds and enzymes add complementary bases to each strand. During protein production, information from DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) which is then translated by ribosomes to produce proteins made of amino acid chains. Mutations can occur through changes in single base pairs or the structure of chromosomes and can be caused by mutagens like radiation, chemicals, or heat.
The document summarizes key aspects of DNA and RNA. It explains that DNA was discovered to have a double helix structure by Watson and Crick in 1953. DNA replication involves unwinding the helix, polymerase laying down new nucleotides according to base pairing rules, and proofreading to fix mistakes which can cause mutations. RNA is single-stranded and transcribes information from DNA through transcription, with mRNA carrying messages to sites of protein production according to codon-anticodon base pairing.

Recombinant DNA technology involves isolating DNA from organisms, cutting it with restriction enzymes, ligating the cut DNA fragments into vectors, inserting the recombinant DNA into host cells, culturing the host cells to produce multiple copies, and extracting the desired product. Key steps include isolating pure DNA, cutting source and vector DNA with the same enzyme, ligating the gene of interest into the vector, amplifying the gene using PCR, transforming host cells to incorporate the recombinant DNA, and using selective markers like antibiotic resistance to identify transformed cells.

This document discusses the role of NF-κB in regulating apoptosis. It describes how NF-κB is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of many anti-apoptotic genes. The regulation of NF-κB involves its interaction with the inhibitory protein IκB and transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus. Phosphorylation of IκB leads to its degradation and the release of NF-κB to enter the nucleus and activate gene transcription. This tight regulation of NF-κB activity and localization determines whether a cell survives or undergoes apoptosis.
This document summarizes research on NF-kB signaling in cancer, specifically gastric cancer. It describes the background, structure and activation processes of NF-kB. Experiments show that NF-kB1 and RELA are upregulated in gastric cancer cell lines and tumors, and their knockdown inhibits tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, miR-508-3p is identified as a tumor suppressor that directly targets and downregulates NF-kB1 in gastric cancer. Re-expression of NF-kB1 partly reverses the tumor suppressive effects of miR-508-3p overexpression. In conclusion, downregulation of miR-508-3p contributes to canonical NF-kB activation in gastric tumorigenesis.

The document discusses DNA structure and replication. It describes how DNA is composed of nucleotides that combine to form the characteristic double helix structure. The four nucleotides are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine which pair up through hydrogen bonding in a specific way. DNA replication is semi-conservative and precisely copies the genetic information for cell division. It involves unwinding of the DNA double helix, synthesis of new complementary strands, and production of two identical DNA molecules each composed of one original and one new strand.
1. DNA is constantly exposed to damage from the environment and errors during replication. Cells have several DNA damage repair mechanisms to fix alterations to maintain genome integrity.
2. The main repair pathways are direct reversal, excision repair including nucleotide excision repair and base excision repair, and mismatch repair which fixes errors made during replication.
3. If damage evades these pathways, error-prone translesion synthesis can occur which often introduces mutations, acting as a last resort to allow replication past lesions.

1. DNA contains the genetic instructions that determine traits and control cell functions by serving as a template for protein structure.
2. DNA is made up of nucleotides that form a double helix structure, with nitrogenous bases on the inside pairing according to specific rules.
3. DNA must be replicated before cell division so that each new cell contains the exact genetic information of the original cell. The double helix unwinds and each strand acts as a template for a new complementary strand.
Mutations occur through endogenous and exogenous DNA damage and can be in the form of point mutations, frame shifts, or splicing errors. Mutation types include nonsense mutations which result in premature stop codons, missense mutations which code for different amino acids, and silent mutations which do not change the amino acid. Frameshift mutations change the reading frame by inserting or deleting nucleotides. Splicing errors can occur from mutations affecting splice sites or their specificity. Lethal mutations cause death while loss or gain of function mutations impact gene activity.

DNA Damage and DNA repair mechanism in Space
DNA repair systems in Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
DNA repair systems are essential for maintaining the integrity of genetic information. There are multiple pathways for repairing different types of DNA damage:
1) Mismatch repair corrects errors made during DNA replication by using methylation patterns to distinguish the template strand.
2) Base-excision repair involves DNA glycosylases that remove damaged bases, leaving abasic sites that are then repaired.
3) Nucleotide-excision repair removes larger distortions in the DNA double helix.
4) Direct repair mechanisms like photoreactivation can directly reverse some types of damage using light or chemical processes, without removing nucleotides. DNA repair pathways help prevent mutations and ensure fidelity of genetic information.
DNA in cells can become damaged through radiation, chemicals, and errors during replication. There are several pathways cells use to repair DNA damage, including direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and mismatch repair. Double strand breaks can be repaired through direct joining of broken ends or homologous recombination using the sister chromatid as a template. Failure to properly repair DNA damage can lead to mutations and genetic disorders.
Fredrick Meischer first isolated DNA in 1869. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, scientists searched for the hereditary material and determined key features of DNA including its ability to replicate, store large amounts of information, and be read. Frederick Griffith discovered in 1928 that a non-virulent strain of bacteria could be transformed into a virulent strain, suggesting a transforming factor, later identified by Avery, McLeod and McCarty in 1944 to be DNA. Erwin Chargaff discovered in 1950 that the amounts of adenine and thymine and guanine and cytosine were always equal in DNA. James Watson and Crick then published the double helix model of DNA in 1953.
This document summarizes different types of DNA repair mechanisms including base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and their mechanisms in E. coli and humans. It also discusses short patch and long patch base excision repair, and conditions like xeroderma pigmentosum that arise from defects in nucleotide excision repair.
The document provides an overview of DNA repair, including:
1) DNA is the only biological macromolecule that is repaired, as spontaneous and environmentally-induced damage occurs daily.
2) There are multiple pathways of DNA repair, including direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and double-strand break repair.
3) Defects in DNA repair can lead to genetic disorders and cancer, highlighting the importance of effective repair.
DNA can become damaged through external environmental factors like radiation or internally through natural chemical reactions. If left unrepaired, damaged DNA can lead to cancer or genetic disorders. The body has multiple DNA repair mechanisms including base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and double-strand break repair. These mechanisms recognize and remove damaged or incorrect DNA bases. Enzymes then excise the damage and DNA polymerases fill in the correct DNA sequence before ligases seal the DNA backbone. Without effective DNA repair, mutations can accumulate and cause cell harm.
Each organism's characteristics are encoded in DNA molecules. DNA stores and transmits genetic information through long chains of nucleotides composed of deoxyribose sugar, phosphate groups, and nitrogenous bases. RNA also plays important roles in protein synthesis. Messenger RNA carries DNA's message to make proteins during transcription in the nucleus. Ribosomal and transfer RNA aid in translation in the cytoplasm, where transfer RNA transfers amino acids to form polypeptides according to mRNA codons.
Hello everyone, I am Dr. Ujwalkumar Trivedi, Head of Biotechnology Department at Marwadi University Rajkot. I teach Molecular Biology to the students of M.Sc. Microbiology and Biotechnology.
The current presentation talks about the types of mutations, various mutagens and their mechanism of mutagenesis. The later part of the presentation describes various DNA repair mechanisms.
DNA repair is a collection of processes cells use to identify and correct damage to DNA molecules. Around 1 million lesions can occur per cell per day due to normal metabolic activities and environmental factors like UV light. Unrepaired lesions can alter gene transcription or cause mutations. The main types of DNA repair are direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and double-strand break repair. Cells have checkpoint mechanisms to detect DNA damage and initiate repair or induce apoptosis if damage is too severe. Defects in DNA repair can cause diseases like xeroderma pigmentosum or increase cancer risks. Telomere shortening due to factors like oxidation also contributes to cellular aging, and telomerase may help counter this
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a pathway that repairs a broad class of helix-distorting lesions in DNA that disrupt transcription and replication. It involves recognizing the damaged site, unwinding the DNA helix, making dual incisions on both sides of the damage, excising the damaged fragment, and resynthesizing the replacement DNA. NER is a complex process involving at least 28 genes and is important for repairing UV-induced damage and protecting against sunlight-induced DNA damage and cancer. Defects in NER genes can cause diseases like xeroderma pigmentosum, trichothiodystrophy, and Cockayne syndrome.
This document discusses the phenomenon of ab initio DNA synthesis, where DNA polymerases can synthesize new DNA strands without a template. It provides a history of the discovery of this process and studies showing DNA polymerases can generate short repetitive sequences on their own. The document also explores how adding other enzymes like restriction endonucleases, nicking endonucleases and helicase can stimulate ab initio DNA synthesis. Finally, it proposes models for how this template-independent DNA synthesis may occur and discusses potential functional roles and implications.

It explains that replication involves initiation at an origin of replication, followed by unwinding of the DNA double helix by helicase. RNA primers are synthesized by primase and DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the primers to elongate DNA strands. In prokaryotes, leading and lagging strands are synthesized continuously and discontinuously respectively to form Okazaki fragments. Enzymes like DNA polymerase, ligase, and topoisomerase ensure high fidelity and processivity of replication. Telomerase maintains telomere integrity in eukaryotes during DNA replication.

The interface in a complex involves two structurally matched protein subunits, and the binding sites can be predicted by identifying structural matches at protein surfaces.
Identification of Protein–Ligand Binding Sites by Sequence & Identifying protein–ligand binding sites is an important process in drug discovery and structure-based drug design. Detecting protein–ligand binding sites is expensive and time-consuming by traditional experimental methods. Hence, computational approaches provide many effective strategies to deal with this issue. Recently, lots of computational methods are based on structure information on proteins. However, these methods are limited in the common scenario, where both the sequence of protein target is known and sufficient 3D structure information is available. Studies indicate that sequence-based computational approaches for predicting protein–ligand binding sites are more practical. Different methods were used to determine protein binding sites fir instance, chromatin immuno preciptitation assay ( ChIP),
Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), Dnase footprinting assay etc.
DNA replication is the process where DNA copies itself to produce identical daughter molecules. It occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle and involves unwinding of the DNA double helix, synthesis of new strands complementarity to each existing strand, and production of two identical copies of the original DNA molecule. DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands in the 5' to 3' direction by adding nucleotides that are complementary to the template strand, requiring primers, nucleotides, and several enzymes. Errors can occur which are corrected by DNA repair mechanisms like base excision repair.
This document provides an overview of DNA, including its structure, function, and role in heredity. It discusses the history of DNA discoveries from Miescher's isolation of DNA in 1869 to determining the genetic code in the 1960s. Key points covered include that DNA is a double helix composed of nucleotides with phosphodiester bonds between strands. The strands have 5' to 3' polarity and are antiparallel. DNA replication is semiconservative and involves enzymes like DNA polymerase, ligase, and helicase. Gene expression and regulation are also summarized.
1. DNA replication enzymes and mechanisms ensure accurate and complete duplication of the genome during cell division.
2. Specific DNA sequences called origins of replication initiate DNA unwinding and replication at replication forks.
3. Replication enzymes include helicases, primases, DNA polymerases, topoisomerases, ligases and sliding clamps that work together in the replisome complex.
4. Elaborate mechanisms such as proofreading and processive polymerases minimize errors during DNA synthesis.
DNA replication is semi-conservative, as proved by the Meselson-Stahl experiment. It occurs during interphase and involves unwinding of the DNA double helix by helicase, followed by synthesis of new strands by DNA polymerases with RNA primers provided by primase. Replication proceeds bidirectionally from an origin of replication and results in two identical copies of the original DNA molecule.
DNA Replication in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes .pptxiftikharnarc1
DNA replication is the process where a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA before cell division. It occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle and involves unwinding the DNA double helix, making RNA primers, and synthesizing new DNA strands in both directions from the origin of replication using the old strands as templates. This results in two identical copies of the DNA. The key enzymes involved are DNA helicase, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase, topoisomerase, and single-stranded binding proteins. Replication proceeds through the semi-conservative model and results in the production of leading and lagging strands made of long and short Okazaki fragments respectively.
This document defines key terms related to biology and genetics. It describes the structure and packaging of DNA, the central dogma of molecular biology, and important experiments that determined DNA is the genetic material, including Griffith's experiment demonstrating transformation, Avery et al's identification of DNA as the transforming principle, Hershey and Chase's experiment using bacteriophage, and Meselson and Stahl's experiment demonstrating semi-conservative DNA replication. It also outlines DNA and RNA structure, the double helix model of DNA, and DNA replication.

2) The stages of DNA replication - initiation, elongation, and termination.
3) Differences in DNA replication between prokaryotes and eukaryotes such as the presence of multiple origins of replication in eukaryotes.

Multiple proteins are required for DNA replication, including DNA polymerases, helicases, primase, topoisomerases, ligase and single-stranded DNA binding proteins. Helicases unwind DNA at replication forks using ATP while primase synthesizes RNA primers and DNA polymerases use the primers to replicate DNA in the 5' to 3' direction. DNA gyrase introduces negative supercoils to relieve positive supercoiling formed during unwinding while ligase seals nicks between Okazaki fragments to complete replication.

genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
9. The DNA-binding ability of Dps was initially
discovered when purified Dps was added
separately to supercoiled plasmid DNA and
linear DNA.
From this simple yet elegant binding assay,
several critical DNA-binding properties of
Dps were revealed;
10. 1
• Intense stability of DNA-Dps complex: Dps bound to DNA
prior to heating is able to withstand intense acute heat shock
in excess of 100⁰C and continues to be a highly stable
complex, even after prolonged heating at 65⁰C.
2
• Dps-bound DNA reveals no clear footprint after
digestion with DNAse I: a binding characteristic very similar
to that observed with other histone-like proteins.
3
• Self-aggregation of Dps: This property of E. coli Dps
demonstrates its ability to bind DNA without any apparent
sequence specificity. Immediately upon the addition of DNA,
Dps dodecamers undergo extensive aggregation and quickly
form multilayered plate-like crystals thereafter.
11. DNA is not thought to bind directly to the
surface of the protein; as the surface of Dps
dodecamers does not display DNA-binding
motifs and is dominated by negative charges
that would likely repel negatively charged
DNA molecules. Frenkiel-Krispin et al (2001)
proposed that Dps is unable to directly bind
DNA and that DNA-Dps complex formation
relies on ion bridges formed by Mg2+.

28. (i) RNA Polymerase at promoter is surrounded by curved DNA.
(ii) This curved ADNA wraps around the polymerase.
(iii) H-NS binds to the curved DNA to lock the RNA polymerase at the promoter and
prevents transcription from occurring.
(iv) Environmental signals and transcription factors release the DNA bacterial binding
protein and allows transcription to proceed. Dorman et al 2003
37. With manipulation of bacterial genetics, physiology,
multiplexed genome editing and programmable gene
regulation desired results can be obtained.
Researchers have used bacterial DNA-binding proteins to research
Salmonella typhimurium, in which the T6SS genes are activated
from a macrophage or mouse infection. Assays are created that
combine reporter fusions, electrophoretic mobility shift
assay, Dnase footprinting and fluorescence microscopy to
silence the T6SS gene by histone like nucleoid binding
protein (H-NS).
