A simple TAE-based method to generate large insert BAC libraries from plant species
No full textLarge insert libraries are valuable tools for the positional cloning of genes of interest, physical mapping of chromosomes, comparative genomics, and molecular breeding. There are five types of large DNA insert libraries: cosmid, yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacteriophage P1, bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) and P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs) libraries. Of these libraries, BAC libraries are the most widely used due to their ease of manipulation, large insert size, and stability. This chapter reports on a simplified method for plant BAC library construction. This method involves isolation and partial digestion of intact nuclei, selection of appropriate size of DNA via pulsed-field gel (PFG) electrophoresis, elution of DNA from agarose gels, ligation of DNA into the BAC vector, electroporation of the ligation mix into Escherichia coli cells, and estimation of insert sizes. The whole process takes 1–3 months depending on the genome size and coverage required. We have used this method to produce BAC libraries from different plant species including sunolgrass (Phalaris coerulescens L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), lupin (Lupinus angustifolias L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.).Bu-Jun Shi, J.

No full textThis more biographical essay will attempt to bring together theory about Economy of Communion (EoC) practices with the real life experiences the author has had as an EoC entrepreneur. While Gustafson rehabs and then rents out properties in midtown Omaha, he is motivated by the vision of EoC in his business practices. Here he explains how the EoC vision impacts who he employs, how he treats them, who he rents to, his typical rental practices, and finally how he himself has been impacted spiritually through his business activities, trying (imperfectly) to live out gratuity and reciprocity in his day to day practices. Ultimately, he has come to see his work as lived-out theology – practicing redemption by rehabilitating run down properties, and providing grace and mercy and living out his faith through his business activities.|Keywords: entrepreneur, communion, rental, Catholic social teaching, Economy of CommunionBusiness, Faith, and the Economy of Communion2

'Meet me at the left lion': encounters within Nottingham's Old Market Square
No full textArchitecture can form the structure for internal or external gathering places, however, geographer Doreen Massey defnes places, not by their physical characteristics, but as the points of interconnecting fows of people, goods, communications, memories, and imagination, positing that all places are meeting places. At the heart of the city centre, Nottingham’s Old Market Square is where the local inhabitants go to work and play; protest, mourn and celebrate. It is a place of formal and informal encounters, where friends and acquaintances meet, by chance or design; where strangers might exchange a glance or a few words; where people watch other people. Originally a shared market place for Saxon and Norman settlements, the earliest maps of the city show that the footprint of the square has remained the same for many hundreds of years, though its design and edge have gone through numerous transformations. The latest remodelling was undertaken by internationally renowned landscape architecture practice Gustafson Porter: unveiled in 2007, it has won a raft of awards including the inaugural RIBA CABE Public Space Award. Drawing on work undertaken with architecture students to explore individual experiences of the square, the paper will outline some of the fows, past and present, as well as the physical elements, which contribute to the square’s success as a place of encounter
