2014-2015 Internship descriptions
... The internship will be adapted to fit with the current research carried out in our group. Right now we are interested in assembling reporter gene constructs and tranforming them into plants. This will allow us to monitor transcription in every single cell using the RNA binding protein of the MS2 sys ...

Expression and DNA Sequence of the Gene Coding for the lux
... was generated by the protection of 5' mRNA for the lux operon. The result supported that the mRNA of P. phosphoreum for the transcription of the lux operon was started in front of the luxC region according to the size of the DNA band. Analysis of the codon usage of luxC reveals a major difference ob ...

But if this is a true story it is a complicated one, because mice have longer telomeres (20 –50 kb) but shorter lives (2–3 yrs) t ...
