Track 1: A Novel Method for Nucleic Acid Sequence Determination

Novel sequencing methodology which should be readily and completely automated. The method relies on fragmentation of a nucleotide or deoxynucleotide sequence into short fragments, and subsequent quantitation of the fragments by hybridization to olio Deoxynucleotides on a solid support.

Extracts of local sequence information from a DNA fragment using hybridization methods with oligonucleotides and reconstructs the sequence using derived information.  The set of hybridization   probes the derived rates of false positive and false negative hybridization, the most likely DNA fragment have to produce the set of probes, and then estimate its probability that it’s generated the hybridization data.

 Discoveries of natural RNA catalyst was been prompted for the chemical biologists to pursue artificial nucleic acids that have catalytic activities. Those artificial nucleic acid enzymes may compose either Rib nucleotide or DNA. ‘Nucleic acid enzyme’ is used for identify nucleic acids that have catalytic activity. Ribozymes are found in the nature and mediate phosphodiester bond cleavage and formation and peptide bond formation.

The two ribbons symbolize the two phosphate-sugar chains, and the horizontal rods the pairs of bases holding the chains together firmly. The vertical line marks on the fiber axis. Those two strands of the helix run in the opposite directions, meaning that the 5′ end of one strand is paired up with the 3′ end of its matching strand.

Track 7: Peptide Nucleic Acid as Therapeutic Agent

 PNA are synthetic analog of DNA with a repeating N-(2-aminoethyl)-glycine peptide backbone connected to purine and pyrimidine nucleobases via a linker. The unique properties of PNA, including resistance to enzymatic digestion, higher bio stability combined with great hybridization affinity toward DNA and RNA, it has attracted great attention toward PNA- based technology as a promising approach for gene alteration. However, an important challenge in utilizing PNA is poor intracellular uptake. Some strategies have been developed to enhance the delivery of PNA in order to reach cognate site.

• Complementary DNA
• Hydrogen-bonding

Track 8: Nucleic Acid Recognition

Nucleic acids are polynucleotides that are long chainlike molecules composed of a series of nearly identical building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogen-containing aromatic base attached to a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, which is in turn attached to a phosphate group.

• Polynucleotides
• Nucleotides

Track 9: Nucleic Acid Probes

Nucleic acid probes are used not only to detect mRNA, but to assess interphase chromosomes in tumor cells. Probe is placed into contact with the sample under conditions that allow the probe sequence to hybridize with its complementary sequence. Probes may consist of either DNA or RNA, and they vary in length from short oligonucleotides to mutagenic chromosomal segments cloned into bacteria.

Nucleic acid probes are based on detection of unique nucleotide sequences within the DNA or RNA of a microorganism these unique nucleotide 'signatures' are surrogates for the presence of organism itself. Bacterial ribosomes are highly conserved and are essential organelles responsible for protein synthesis process.

A hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length it can then be used in DNA or RNA samples to detect the presence of nucleotide substance the probe may be synthesized using the phosphoramidite method, or it can be generated and labelled by PCR process amplification or cloning. In order to increase the in vivo stability of the probe RNA are not used. In that case RNA analogues may be used, in a particular morpholino- derivative. Molecular DNA or RNA probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries, detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods, and in other gene technologies, such as nucleic acid and the tissue microarrays method.

Track 16: Recombinant DNA Technology

Recombinant (rDNA) DNA technology is the joining of DNA molecules from two different species. The recombined DNA molecules are inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, agriculture, and industry.  A geneticist is to isolate, characterize, and manipulate gene. (rDNA) technology is based upon primarily on two other technologies, cloning and DNA sequencing. Cloning is under taken in order to obtain the clones of one particular gene or DNA sequence of interest. Next step after cloning is to find and isolate that clone among other member of the library (a large collection of clones). The segments of DNA have been cloned, its nucleotide sequence can be determined.

Temperature can affect the nucleic acid structure of double stranded DNA (dsDNA). Melting temperature is defined as the temperature at which half of the DNA strands are in random coil or single stranded (ssDNA) condition. Tm depends on length of the DNA molecule and its specific nucleotide sequence. And therefore DNA, are in a state where its two strands are dissociated.
