A DNA molecule labelled with biotin by incorporation of biotinylated-dUTP into a DNA molecule. It is used as a non-radioactive probe in hybridization experiments, such as Southern transfer. The detection of the labelled DNA is achieved by complexing it with streptavidin (an antibiotic with a high affinity for biotin) to which is attached a colour-generating agent such as horseradish peroxidase that gives a fluorescent green colour upon reaction with various organic reagents.
Industry:Biotechnology
A DNA molecule that contains extra twists as a result of overwinding (positive supercoils) or underwinding (negative supercoils).
Industry:Biotechnology
A DNA molecule that is incorporated into either a cloning vector or a chromosomal site.
Industry:Biotechnology
A DNA probe that is derived from one species and used to screen for a similar DNA sequence from another species.
Industry:Biotechnology
A DNA sequence found in several genes that are involved in the specification of organs in different body parts in animals; they are characteristic of genes that influence segmentation in animals. The homeobox corresponds to an amino acid sequence in the polypeptide encoded by these genes; this sequence is called the homeodomain.
Industry:Biotechnology
A DNA sequence that controls the transcriptional regulation of <i>Rhizobium</i> nodulation genes.
