Hepatitis Delta Virus (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Hepatitis Delta Virus (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)
Springer | ISBN: 3540298010 | Edition - 2006-06-14 | PDF | 228 pages | 2.64 Mb

Hepatitis delta virus which causes severe acute and chronic liver disease was discovered following the detection of a novel antigen-antibody system in hepatitis B virus carriers. Currently, HDV is classified as a subviral satellite of hepatitis B virus. However, unlike other satellite viruses, the dependence of HDV on HBV is limited solely to the provision of an envelope of hepatitis B surface antigen for virus assembly. Research into the molecular virology of the HDV life cycle has revealed a fascinating collection of biology. These insights are now beginning to be translated into new potential treatment strategies. There are currently still an estimated 15 million HDV carriers worldwide.

The Microbial Models of Molecular Biology: From Genes to Genomes

The Microbial Models of Molecular Biology: From Genes to Genomes
Oxford University Press| 0195154363 | Edition - 2003 | PDF | 337pages| 1.94 MB | Rapidshare & Megaupload

This book explains the role of simple biological model systems in the growth of molecular biology. Essentially the whole history of molecular biology is presented here, tracing the work in bacteriophages in E. coli, the role of other prokaryotic systems, and also the protozoan and algal models - Paramecium and Chlamydomonas, primarily - and the move into eukaryotes with the fungal systems - Neurospora, Aspergillus and yeast. Each model was selected for its appropriateness for asking a given class of questions, and each spawned its own community of investigators. Some individuals made the transition to a new model over time, and remnant communities of investigators continue to pursue questions in all these models, as the cutting edge of molecular biological research flowed onward from model to model, and onward into higher organisms and, ultimately, mouse and man.

Tracking Genetically - Engineered Microorganisms (Biotechnology Intelligence Unit 2)

Tracking Genetically - Engineered Microorganisms (Biotechnology Intelligence Unit 2)
Publisher: LANDES BIOSCIENCE PUBLISHERS | 2000-06-15 | ISBN 1587060094 | Pages: 162 | PDF | 1.8 Mb

This book is an unparalleled, very comprehensive survey of methods for monitoring of specific microorganisms in the environment, with great usefulness for those working in either the assessment of risks of released GMMs or with monitoring of released microorganisms in e.g. soil bioremediation or biocontrol. The aim is to provide a background in different techniques for monitoring of specific microorganisms in environmental samples along with examples of applications of these approaches. The examples include work done in laboratory model systems (microcosms) as well as documentation from actual field releases of genetically modified microorganisms. The regulatory aspects of risk assessment of genetically modified microorganisms targeted for release are also included. Therefore, this book is unique in dealing with different aspects of monitoring of GMMs and should be useful for regulatory agencies that require a summary of existing techniques and information as well as scientists that require a review of the "state-of the art" of modern methods for monitoring specific microorganisms in nature.

Regulation of Gene Expression: Molecular Mechanisms

Regulation of Gene Expression: Molecular Mechanisms
Humana Press | 1588292657 | Edition - 2006 | PDF | 333 pages | 2.88 MB | Rapidshare & Megaupload

Regulation of Gene Expression: Molecular Mechanisms presents a comprehensive overview of methods and approaches for characterizing mechanisms of gene regulation. The text is appropriate both as a graduate textbook and a standard laboratory reference and provides the essential groundwork for an advanced understanding of the various mechanisms that may result in altered activity of a specific cell protein.

Each of three sections explores mechanisms of gene regulation and expression, and presents methods and protocols for achieving specific experimental goals. Part I focuses on approaches for studying control of mRNA expression and determining target genes for a given transcription copy. Part II outlines the methods for determining how proteins can regulate each other by mediating synthesis, degradation, protein-protein interactions, and posttranslational modification. Part III explores how gene targeting techniques in mice can provide insight into protein function. This volume provides a clear, concise overview of the protocols and techniques used to examine chemically or disease-mediated alterations in gene expression in mammalian systems.

Yeast Gene Analysis 2nd edition (Methods in Microbiology: Vol 36)

Yeast Gene Analysis 2nd edition (Methods in Microbiology: Vol 36)
Academic Press | 0123694787 | Edition - July 9, 2007 | PDF | 700 pages | 11.7 MB | rapidshare

Focusing on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the second edition of Yeast Gene Analysis represents a major reworking of the original edition, with many completely new chapters and major revisions to all previous chapters. Originally published shortly after completion of the yeast genome sequence, the new edition covers many of the major genome-wide strategies that have been developed since then such as microarray analysis of transcription, synthetic gene array studies, protein microarrays and chemical genetic approaches. It represents a valuable resource for any research laboratory using budding yeast as their experimental system in which to identify new yeast gene functions. The chapters are written in a readable style with useful background information, technical tips and specific experimental protocols included as appropriate, enabling both the novice and the experienced yeast researcher to adopt new procedures with confidence.

New chapters on:
* strain construction
* genome-wide two-hybrid approaches
* use of microarrays for transcript analysis
* real-time analysis of chromosome behaviour and FRET
* synthetic gene array technology and protein arrays
* chemical genomics and yeast prions
* RNA gene analysis and mitochondrial gene function analysis
* phylogenetic footprinting
* discovering human gene function and predicting yeast gene function
