Brief description: This course will support the weekly seminar series in the department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (Fridays at 4:00, Biotechnology Building). At our initial meeting we will schedule one class participant for each MBG seminar (mbg.cornell.edu). This class participant will be responsible for contacting the seminar speaker a week or more in advance to inquire about a paper that will best capture the content of the MBG seminar. The participant will present the suggested paper along with suitable background information on the Wednesday before the Friday seminar. Students in this course will benefit from an enhanced experience at Friday seminar and also get a chance to communicate with scientists on the cutting-edge of research. Organization meeting will be 8/26/11. First meeting will be the week of 9/18/11.

Specific topics to be covered may include: 1) DNA repair in stem cells; 2) New insights cancer into genomic instability and the origins of cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas; 3) DNA damage and aging; 4) DNA repair pathways as targets for cancer therapy. Students enrolled for credit will be given one short writing assignment related to the course content. The specific meeting times for the course will be decided at the organizational meeting on Friday September 2nd at noon in T9006C Veterinary Research Tower.

Ke,A (ak425)
A prokaryotic RNA-based adaptive immune system known as CRISPR (clusters of regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) was recently discovered. CRISPR drives adaptation to harmful invading nucleic acids - such as conjugative plasmids, transposable elements and phages - using an RNA-mediated defense mechanism with fundamental similarities to our innate and adaptive immune responses. CRISPR-Cas defense systems have been identified in 88% of archaeal genomes and 39% of bacterial genomes thus far sequenced, including important human pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium botulinum, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Yersinia pestis. The significance of this pathway for human health is best illustrated in the human pathogen Staphylococcus epodermidis, where HGT through conjugation and plasmid transformation is prevented by CRISPR-Cas. This suggests that the CRISPR-Cas system can be exploited to limit the spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria due to HGT. In this course, we will explore the detailed molecular events of this defense system, specifically (i) adaptation upon first exposure to the foreign nucleic acid whereby some combination of CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins extracts recognizable features from the genomes of viruses (bacteriophages) and plasmids as protospacers that are subsequently incorporated as spacers at the 5? end of genomic CRISPR loci; and (ii) interference upon re-exposure to the same nucleic acid whereby a ribonucleoprotein complex comprised of small guide RNAs derived from genomic CRISPRs and different Cas proteins targets foreign nucleic acids for destruction.

Single-stranded oligonucleotides (RNA, DNA, and modified nucleotide aptamers) have emerged as a powerful alternative protein and small molecule binding reagents that, like antibodies, show high affinity and specificity for their targets. Aptamers are selected against a target molecule using an iterative in vitro selection and amplification technique known as SELEX. Once isolated, these reagents can be engineered into reagents for detecting or inhibiting specific proteins both in vitro and in vivo. The short course covers the latest high efficiency approaches for generating aptamers and the engineering and application of these aptamers into high affinity detectors and inhibitors.
