Example text

A large number of probes, cDNA sequences, or DNA oligonucleotides are spotted on a glass slide. RNA is extracted from a control sample and a test sample, for example a tumor or treated cells. After differential labeling of the two RNA populations with fluorescent probes, the samples are mixed and hybridized to the probes on the slide. The slide is then scanned once for each fluorophore. The intensity of the emitted signal on each spot permits calculation of the ratios of each RNA that binds to the respective probe.

Cloning of DNA Cloning refers to the isolation of a DNA fragment that can be propagated indefinitely. Cloning is essential for DNA sequencing, nucleic acid hybridization studies, expression of recombinant proteins, and functional characterization of mutated genes. The cloning of DNA involves the insertion of a DNA fragment into a cloning vector, followed by the propagation of the recombinant DNA in a host cell. The process of DNA insertion relies heavily on the use of restriction 27 Chapter 2 Fig.

If there is no apparent benefit, the general recommendation is to defer testing until the patient can consent independently. This is particularly relevant in devastating disorders that manifest only later in life, such as Huntington disease. 2). If a disease-causing mutation is expected in all cells as a result of germline transmission, DNA can be collected from any tissue, most commonly nucleated blood cells or buccal cells, for cytogenetic and mutational analyses. In the case of somatic mutations, which are limited to neoplastic tissue, an adequate sample of this lesion will serve for the extraction of DNA or RNA.
