Environmental implications of recombinant DNA technology
Biotechnology Advances, 1986Applications of recombinant DNA technology are discussed as a backdrop for evaluation of the environmental impacts of this technology. Some of applications include using traditional biological techniques for specific purposes, including nitrogen fixation, microbial pesticides, and waste treatment.

Characterization of human DNA in environmental samples
Forensic Science International, 2008Environmental samples from indoor surfaces can be confounded by dust, which is composed largely of human skin cells and has been documented to contain roughly tens of micrograms of total DNA per gram of dust. This study complements previous published work by providing estimates of the quantity of amplifiable human DNA found in environmental samples ...

Polymorphisms in DNA repair and environmental interactions
Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2002The repair of damage to DNA is critical to the survival of a cell. However, not all organisms nor all individuals express a similar response to challenges to their genetic material. Numerous polymorphisms in genes involved in DNA repair have been found in individuals with DNA repair-related disease as well as in the general population. Studies of these

Profiling Environmental Conditions from DNA
2020DNA is quintessential to carry out basic functions by organisms as it encodes information necessary for metabolomics and proteomics, among others. In particular, it is common nowadays to use DNA for profiling living organisms based on their phenotypic traits.

Environmental DNA for functional diversity
2018Abstract Chapter 10 “Environmental DNA for functional diversity” discusses the potential of environmental DNA to assess functional diversity. It first focuses on DNA metabarcoding and discusses the extent to which this approach can be used and/or optimized to retrieve meaningful information on the functions of the target community.

DNA as a Biosensor for Environmental Agents
1991It is the thesis of this paper that DNA can be utilized as a target to detect environmental agents that can modify DNA directly or indirectly through metabolic activation. Expression of DNA modification will be achieved by using as a target a bacterial gene encoding an easily assessable enzyme.

Introduction to environmental DNA (eDNA)
2018Abstract Chapter “Introduction to environmental DNA (eDNA)” defines the central concepts of this book. Environmental DNA (eDNA) corresponds to a mixture of genomic DNA from many different organisms found in an environmental sample such as water, soil, or feces. DNA metabarcoding can be defined as the simultaneous DNA-based identification

DNA replication in the environmental extremes
DNA replication is an essential biological process across all life on Earth. For the prokaryotic Archaea domain, which contains organisms that can thrive in inhospitable environments like hydrothermal vents or salt deposits in the Dead Sea, the cell machinery for these conserved processes have acclimated over the course of evolution to encourage ...Liman, Geraldy Lie Stefanus +4 more
