PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 29-Sep-2014 Contact: Florence Meney florence.meney@douglas.mcgill.ca Douglas Mental Health University Institute This news release is available in French. Montreal, September 29th, 2014 - The number of days an expectant mother was deprived of electricity during Quebec's Ice Storm (1998) predicts the epigenetic profile of her child, a new study finds. Scientists from the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and McGill University have detected a distinctive 'signature' in the DNA of children born in the aftermath of the massive Quebec ice storm. Five months after the event, researchers recruited women who had been pregnant during the disaster and assessed their degrees of hardship and distress in a study called Project Ice Storm. Thirteen years later, the researchers found that DNA within the T cells - a type of immune system cell - of 36 children showed distinctive patterns in DNA methylation. The researchers concluded for the first time that maternal hardship, predicted the degree of methylation of DNA in the T cells. The "epigenetic" signature plays a role in the way the genes express themselves. This study is also the first to show that it is the objective stress exposure (such as days without electricity) and not the degree … Continue reading →

September 29, 2014 - In DNA SMART ChIP-Seq Kit, adaptation of template switching technology is used to add Illumina-specific adapters directly to DNA. This produces ChIP-seq libraries without additional ligation or clean-up steps. Kit generates libraries with good complexity and low redundancy from low-input samples (100 pg-10 ng) using simple protocol. SMART (Switching Mechanism at 5' End of RNA Template) technology, when applied to RNA, allows for full-length cDNA synthesis with direct addition of PCR adapter. Clontech Laboratories, Inc. 1020 E. Meadow Circle Palo Alto, CA, 94303 USA Press release date: September 22, 2014 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., -- Clontech Laboratories, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Takara Bio Inc., today announced the launch of the DNA SMART ChIP-Seq Kit. This kit adapts Clontech's patented SMART technology in an innovative manner for use with low-input samples, including both dsDNA and ssDNA templates, to generate ChIP-seq libraries for NGS. SMART (Switching Mechanism at 5' End of RNA Template) technology, when applied to RNA, allows for full-length cDNA synthesis with direct addition of a PCR adaptor. In the DNA SMART ChIP-Seq Kit, a novel, patent-pending adaptation of template switching technology is used to add Illumina-specific adaptors directly to DNA. This produces ChIP-seq libraries without … Continue reading →

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 29-Sep-2014 Contact: Jocelyn Duffy jhduffy@andrew.cmu.edu 412-268-9982 Carnegie Mellon University @CMUScience PITTSBURGHMany double-stranded DNA viruses infect cells by ejecting their genetic information into a host cell. But how does the usually rigid DNA packaged inside a virus' shell flow from the virus to the cell? In two separate studies, Carnegie Mellon University biophysicist Alex Evilevitch has shown that in viruses that infect both bacteria and humans, a phase transition at the temperature of infection allows the DNA to change from a rigid crystalline structure into a fluid-like structure that facilitates infection. The findings, published in Nature Chemical Biology and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), provide a promising new target for antiviral therapies. Most antiviral drugs work by deactivating viral proteins, but viruses often evolve and become drug resistant. Evilevitch believes that researchers now have a possible new way to prevent infection blocking the phase transition. Such a therapy could be generalizable across all types of Herpes viruses, and wouldn't be prone to developing resistance. "The exciting part of this is that the physical properties of packaged DNA play a very important role in the spread of a viral infection, and those properties are universal," … Continue reading →
