Why is Neurospora used as genetic material?
It is desired to isolate genomic DNA from liquid culture of S. cerevisiae yeast. A commercial kit will be used to isolate genomic DNA from this liquid culture. Answer the following questions to understand the strategy used by commercial kits for genomic DNA isolation.
a) List all the steps from cell pellet preparation to DNA elution.
b) With which feature can the membrane in the column that comes with the commercial kit bind DNA?
c) Which component in the kit would you use to recover the DNA from the membrane of the column to which the DNA was attached?

Briefly, in MNase-Seq experiments, the chromatin is digested with Micrococcal Nuclease (MNase) and then the resulting digest is subjecting to high throughput sequencing to identify sequences digested by enzyme. See this short article for complete explanation. In the experiment below, researchers conducted an Mnase Seq experiment on a region of a chromosome in the absence (OHT-) and presence (OHT+) of a Protein X. This protein has a dramatic effect on the expression of the Igll1 gene, but no effect on Top3b nor Vpreb1 genes. Based on this information, explain what Protein X is doing to influence the Igll1 gene (limit 4-5 sentences).arrow_forwardHow chromatin remodeling and chromatin modifications are necessary to make cis-acting regulatory sequences accessible to binding ?arrow_forward
