JBEI GT collection is a new biofuels research resource

$
0
0
Efforts to advance production of environmentally friendly transportation fuels from plant biomass should be aided by a new glycosyltransferase clone collection compiled by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI). A paper on the collection has been accepted for publication in The Plant Journal. The aim of the JBEI GT collection is to provide a functional genomic for researchers in the field of sugar extraction from plant biomass to product fuels.

Glycosyltransferases (GT) are the enzymes responsible for catalysis of simple plant monosaccharides into complex polysaccharides needed for many plant cells function and structures. Large GT families have evolved in plants but their chemical nature has hampered efforts to understand specific functions of the majority of GTs. This hinders bioenergy research efforts to modify plant biomass with a goal to produce maximum amounts of transportation fuels.

In an attempt to address this issue, the JBEI team, led by Dr Joshua Heazlewood, director of the JBEI Plant Systems Biology Programme, have cloned and verified the new clone collection which contains 403 Arabidopsis GTs (the reference plant for poplar and other similar species) and 96 rice GTs (the reference plant for grasses). This represents about 88% of the known Arabidopsis GTs but only about 15% of rice GTs, so the team aim to extend this. Dr Heazlewood explains the ethos and utility behind the clone collection: “Using the unique infrastructure and resources at JBEI, we have provided a collection of high quality GT clones, all of which have been verified by sequencing and are available in easy to use cassettes…We’re making this entire collection available to the plant research community and expect it to drive our basic understanding of GTs and enable the manipulation of cell walls.”

As well as the GT clone collection, the team have produced a set of so-called ‘pBullets’ which are particle bombardment plasmids that mark targeted protein location with high efficiency when shot into cells. The JBEI pBullets are designed to mark elements of the plant endomembrane system, which separates the functional and structural plant cell components. Dr Heazlewood explains how this system could be useful: “Our pBullet vector series is custom designed for efficient bombardment…Researchers generally use large unwieldy plasmids that perform badly when it comes to localizing proteins.”
More information on the JBEI GT collection and the pBullets can be found on the JBEI Website at http://gt.jbei.org/

My name is Masino and I am studying Bio- and Nanotechnology in Iserlohn, Germany. I am starting to work on my bachelor thesis in which I have to bind biotin on interleukin 1 antibodies. After that I need a method to check which antibodies binded the biotin and which not. Does someone of you have an idea? Thanks !

Common genes associated with schizophrenia and cannabis use

$

An individual’s profile of schizophrenia risk genes is associated with an increased risk of cannabis use. This is the main finding in a paper from an international team of researchers published today as an advanced online publication in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. The findings do not rule out a causal relationship between cannabis use and risk of developing schizophrenia but do suggest that the relationship may also work the other way, i.e. that genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may also increase the likelihood of using cannabis.

Cannabis is the most commonly used illegal drug internationally. In some countries, there is intense debate on the issue of legalising and controlling cannabis use, so increased insight into the health risks associated with cannabis are more pressing than ever. Schizophrenia is a devastating psychiatric disorder which affects about 1% of the population and commonly features auditory hallucinations and delusions. There is substantial evidence to suggest that cannabis is one causal component for schizophrenia, however there is debate around whether this is completely due to cannabis increasing psychosis risk or whether the genes that contribute to increased risk of psychosis also contribute to increased risk of cannabis use.

In an attempt to address this debate, the research team recruited 2082 healthy individuals of whom 1011 had used cannabis. They established the ‘schizophrenia genetic risk profile’ for each person, i.e. the number of genetic variants considered to be predisposing to schizophrenia. The results indicated that individuals who had a genetic predisposition to cancer were more likely to use cannabis and in greater quantities than those who did not have the schizophrenia genetic risk factors.

First author Robert Power, of King's College London, explains the significance of the results: "We know that cannabis increases the risk of schizophrenia. Our study certainly does not rule this out, but it suggests that there is likely to be an association in the other direction as well – that a pre-disposition to schizophrenia also increases your likelihood of cannabis use." Mr Power concludes: "Our study highlights the complex interactions between genes and environments when we talk about cannabis as a risk factor for schizophrenia. Certain environmental risks, such as cannabis use, may be more likely given an individual's innate behaviour and personality, itself influenced by their genetic make-up. This is an important finding to consider when calculating the economic and health impact of cannabis."

So the debate continues on the complex links between cannabis use and schizophrenia risk and should be an important consideration in discussions of cannabis legalisation.

Importance of Graduate Degree in the Bioengineering Field

Hello,

I am about to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering and I am debating whether or not to continue my education and enroll in a Master's program or to jump straight into finding a job in the industry. How important would you say it is to get a Master's degree in Bioengineering?

Of course, I have been told that a Master's degree makes it easier to find a job in the field; however, is it really extremely difficult to find a job in Bioengineering with only a Bachelor's degree? Furthermore, is it worth the cost (about $30,000 - $40,000 in most colleges) of enrolling in a graduate degree program?

Thanks for your help!

Question on Telomeres

$
0
0
I understand the general concept of Telomeres buffering the genetic sequence, and that they degrade over time with each division of the cell. My question is: What creates and/or repairs the Telomeres in sex cells and related cells, to ensure a full amount of cell divisions for the resultant zygote? Is it Telomerase, and if so, why is the process specific to only the sexual reproduction process? If this didn't happen, wouldn't the genetic code of even sex cells degrade with every iteration meiosis? I know sex cells only divide once, however after many generations? wouldn't their DNA degrade without the protection provided by Telomeres?

I apologize for the bulk of questions, I am only trying to clarify my exact question, so as to avoid general answers that may be found online with a quick web query.

Thank you for your time and effort!

Welcome to Nalpure Personal Care Products. You probably made it here because you are beginning to notice the signs that age is showing on your face. There may be dark circles just starting to show under your eyes. Or, maybe, you are seeing darker spots on your face. Maybe lines and wrinkles are showing where young smooth skin once was. Overall this is making it very difficult to face the mirror each morning.

HELP: MASTER'S DEGREE

Hello everyone, I am writing on the forum hoping for help: I'm studying Biotechnology in Italy and I have to start the third year; Unfortunately, little by little I'm starting to think that biotechnology is not the best choice for me and for my life, mainly because I realized that i couldn't stay in a laboratory; However, before leaving biotechnology i would like to know if there were in Europe a Master's degree not related to biotechnology, in which, however, I could access.

Sincerely i'm interested in cultures, society and antropology (I know that it is little related to biotechnology), but also for example the ecology ..

I'm looking at the various magisterial in Italy and in Europe hoping there is some Master's degree in which I can access that combines what i'm studying to my interests.

If someone had experienced some similar experience I would be grateful if could put it here, so we compare the opinions (and maybe find an alternative route without "throwing" the two years of study)

Thanks in advance

Help with title for Biotechnology dissertation

$

Hi guys,
I am a second year Biomedical science student at Oxford Brookes University and am in the middle of my research based project which will be used as my primary research for my dissertation. I need some help in coming up with the title of my dissertation as I haven't been assigned one.

Currently I am working for a biotechnology company (Bioline) in North London and am working in R&D on various projects. These are spread over varying aspects of PCR. My work involves helping to re-design and tailor PCR reagents (dyes, mixes, polymerases etc) for customers. For this reason there is no specific focus for my project other than modifying various aspects of PCR to better suit the conditions that are required. For example I had to help re-develop a PCR kit to work better with a particular set of primers a customer needed to use.

Can you help me come up with a good title for this? It needs to propose my research in an all encompassing way. It should translate to mean something along the lines of: Looking at varying aspects of PCR, both endpoint and qPCR, and modifying/redeveloping various aspects of it to suit particular customer needs.

I am not allowed to say much, but o give you an idea of what I'm doing for example here are two of the projects that Im working on:
. Modifying PCR mix so that it provides usable results in endpoint PCR for a particular set of primers (and re-designing the primers if nessecary).
. Modifying Dye mixes to help a customer get better amplification graphs when doing qPCR

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, Joe
