Diagnosis of CML can be done using a Southern blot to detect the junction fragment. In the early stages of CML most patients are heterozygous for the genome rearrangement, while at later stages homozygosity is observed. Using a probe that detects both the junction fragment and the normal cABL gene, […]

Suppose that you have discovered two different transposable elements (A and B) in yeast and you inserted an intron into each of the elements. Following transposition of each transposable element, you examine the transposed elements to determine if the intron is present. You notice that the intron is present in […]

Sinorhizobium meliloti can be protected from osmotic stress by the presence of certain disaccharides. Dan Orr (’09) found that sucrose does a fine job as an osmoprotectant for our strain of S. meliloti, but maltose and cellobiose don’t work very well to protect it from osmotic stress. A. What are two significant structural […]
