Kouros-Mehr, Hosein, Pintchovski, Sean, Melnyk, Jim, Chen, Yu-Jiun, Friedman, Cynthia, Trask, Barbara, ...

In mammals, the vomeronasal organ (VNO) contains chemosensory receptor cells that bind to pheromones and induce a variety of social and reproductive behaviors. It has been traditionally assumed that...

Genomic Characterization of the Human Heterotrimeric G Protein {alpha}, {beta}, and {gamma} Subunit Genes (2000)

Hurowitz, Evan H., Melnyk, James M., Chen, Yu-Jiun, Kouros-Mehr, Hosein, Simon, Melvin I., Shizuya, Hiroaki

Complete Sequence and Gene Organization of the Genome of a Hyper-thermophilic Archaebacterium, Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 (1998)

Kawarabayasi, Yutaka, Sawada, Mituhiro, Horikawa, Hiroshi, Haikawa, Yuji, Hino, Yumi, Yamamoto, Saori, ...

The complete sequence of the genome of a hyper-thermophilic archaebacterium, Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, has been determined by assembling the sequences of the physical map-based contigs of fosmid...

Human Apolipoprotein B Transgenic Mice Generated with 207- and 145-Kilobase Pair Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes. Evidence that a distant 5'-element confers appropriate transgene expression in the intestine (1997)

Nielsen, Lars B., McCormick, Sally P. A., Pierotti, Vincenzo, Tam, Carmen, Gunn, Michael D., Shizuya, Hiroaki, ...

We reported previously that ~80-kilobase pair (kb) P1 bacteriophage clones spanning either the human or mouse apoB gene (clones p158 and p649, respectively) confer apoB expression in the liver of...

A bacterial artificial chromosome-based framework contig map of human chromosome 22q (1996)

Kim, Ung-Jin, Shizuya, Hiroaki, Kang, Hyung-Lyun, Choi, Sun-Shim, Garrett, Charmain L., Smink, Luc J., ...

We have constructed a physical map of human chromosome 22q using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones. The map consists of 613 chromosome 22-specific BAC clones that have been localized and...

Stable propagation of cosmid sized human DNA inserts in an F factor based vector (1992)

Kim, Ung-Jin, Shizuya, Hiroaki, De Jong, Pieter J., Birren, Bruce, Simon, Melvin I.

Instability of complex mammalian genomic DNA inserts is commonplace in cosmid libraries constructed in conventional multicopy vectors. To develop a means to construct stable libraries, we have...

Bacterial Plasmids in Antarctic Natural Microbial Assemblages

Kobori, Hiromi, Sullivan, Cornelius W., Shizuya, Hiroaki

Samples of psychrophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria were collected from sea ice, seawater, sediments, and benthic or ice-associated animals in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. A total of 155 strains were...

Mapping of a Mutation, polB100, Affecting Deoxyribonucleic Acid Polymerase II in Escherichia coli K-12

Campbell, Judith L., Shizuya, Hiroaki, Richardson, Charles C.

Direct assay for deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase II in extracts has been used to screen recombinants for the polB allele in Hfr × F− crosses, F-ductants in episome transfer, and transductants in...

Conditional Lethality of Deletions Which Include uvrB in Strains of Escherichia coli Lacking Deoxyribonucleic Acid Polymerase I

Shizuya, Hiroaki, Dykhuizen, Daniel

Deletions of the uvrB gene were not obtained in polA1 strains of Escherichia coli either by selecting for spontaneous deletions or by transduction from strains carrying such deletions. A strain...

Human Genome Anatomy: BACs Integrating the Genetic and Cytogenetic Maps for Bridging Genome and Biomedicine

Korenberg, Julie R., Chen, Xiao-Ning, Sun, Zhiguang, Shi, Zheng-Yang, Ma, Shaowu, Vataru, Eddy, ...

Human genome sequencing is accelerating rapidly. Multiple genome maps link this sequence to problems in biology and clinical medicine. Because each map represents a different aspect of the structure,...

DNA Polymerase I-Dependent Mutants of Coliphage Lambda

Shizuya, Hiroaki, Brown, Douglas, Campbell, Allan

Mutagenized lysates of bacteriophage lambda were screened for mutants unable to plate on DNA polymerase I-deficient (polA−) hosts. The mutants obtained were all recombination deficient (red−)....

Synthesis of Bacteriophage Lambda DNA In Vitro: Requirement for O and P Gene Products

Shizuya, Hiroaki, Richardson, Charles C.

We have developed a cell-free system to study bacteriophage λ DNA replication. Maximal DNA synthesis in vitro requires the four deoxynucleoside triphosphates, ATP, and exogenous λ DNA. DNA...
