Isolation of a DNA fraction highly enriched in transfer RNA genes from Xenopus laevis.

Andronico F , Beccari E .


???displayArticle.abstract???
A DNA fraction highly enriched in tRNA genes can be isolated from the Xenopus laevis genome by the use of Ag+/Cs2SO4 density gradients. Ag+ shows a low affinity for some tRNA cistrons, allowing their separation from bulk DNA upon equilibrium centrifugation in a Cs2SO4 density gradient. Contaminating DNA in the resulting tDNA fraction is further removed by two additional CsCl density gradient centrifugations. The final DNA fraction is 60-fold enriched in tRNA genes, compared to the starting DNA material.
