Recently (in 2003) there have been significant events
in genomics: the completion of the Human Genome Project and the 50th
Anniversary of the DNA double helix. To this end, this year’s interdisciplinary
“Molecule of the Year” is DNA.
Seminar Speaker for the day was Dr. Robert Stanley of Temple University. His seminar entitled "Does DNA Flip for Photolyase?" was given followed by a poster session. A few of the titles from the poster session are listed.
Human centromere binding protein B
Site-specific recombinase XerD
DNA polymerase b
DNA ligase from bacteriophage T7
DNA cyclobutane dipyrimidine photolyase Anacystis nidulans and E. coli
DNA composition analysis by nuclease digestion and HPLC
The effect of UV irradiation on DNA using differential scanning calorimetry
EcoRI restriction endonuclease
Fluorescence measurements of ethidium and proflavin binding to DNA
Determination of the denaturation temperature of DNA with increasing ionic strength
Determination of binding parameters of ethidium bromide to DNA
DNA strand scission by H2O2 and Cu(II)bis-phenanthroline
Cloning and sequencing of a-tubulin gene from cultured Chinese hamster (cricetulus griseus) ovary cells
Cloning and sequencing of a TRPC1 gene from Chinese hamster ovary cells
Cloning and sequencing of a cytochrome c oxidase mitochondrial gene from a Chinese hamster ovary cell
Polyelectrolyte effects on ligand binding to nucleic acids
The thermodynamics of DNA duplex melting
Comparing the hyper-variable region of mitochondrial DNA between six individuals
Determination of relative concentrations of nucleic acids in insects
