An entirely new theory derived from<br />
contemporary genome research shows<br />
that distinct organisms arose independently<br />
from the primordial pond, and that all<br />
Evolution theories are fundamentally incorrect!<br />
Twelve years of investigations into molecular genetics and genome mechanics<br />
at NIH. the University of Wisconsin and Genome International Corp. now lead<br />
genome researcher Periannan Senapathy, Ph.D., to an astonishing new explanation<br />
for the origins and diversity of life, as announced in his new book:<br />
Independent Birth of Organisms<br />
• Contains critical new evidence that will impact your research and teaching.<br />
• New research, fully documented, provides abundant corroborating evidence.<br />
• Highlights many little-known facts that support the new theory and contradict<br />
Evolution. For example: Did you know that vertebrate and invertebrate<br />
blood plasma, immunity and coagulation are unrelateable by Evolution?<br />
• Demonstrates that natural selection and genetic mutation mechanisms can<br />
account for only incidental variations among essentially similar species.<br />
Shows that genomes are permanently immutable<br />
to any Evolutionary-scale changes.<br />
Engagingly written for lay readers, but annotated<br />
with data for scientific corroboration.<br />

Mismatch Detect<br />
SSCP Alternative<br />
• Rapid turnaround time<br />
• Screen 0.5-1 kb targets in a single step<br />
• No radioisotopes or silver staining required<br />
• No organic extraction, precipitation, centrifugation<br />
or blotting steps<br />
• No secondary detection steps required<br />
• No specialized equipment or reagents required<br />
The new Mismatch Detect Point Mutation Screening Kit<br />
provides a simple, rapid method for detecting dispersed<br />
point mutations. Research efforts at Ambion have resulted in<br />
a substantially improved RNase cleavage-based assay in a<br />
non-radioisotopic format. Using the Non-lsotopic RNase<br />
Cleavage Assay (NIRCA), target regions of 500-1000 bp<br />
can be screened in a single step using an efficient, one-day<br />
procedure, including data analysis.<br />
In the NIRCA method, the substrates for RNase digestion<br />
are RNA/RNA duplexes made by hybridizing complementary<br />
wild type and experimental transcripts. The transcripts are<br />
produced by in vitro transcription of PCR products containing<br />
opposable T7 and SP6 phage promoters. (PCR primers<br />
which contain the SP6 and T7 promoters are used to generate<br />
such PCR products.) Wild type and test transcripts are<br />
hybridized to form double-stranded RNA targets which are<br />
treated with RNase. The cleavage products are then separated<br />
on agarose gels containing ethidium bromide and<br />
assessed under UV light. Experimental samples are scored<br />
as positive for mutations if they contain cleavage products<br />
not seen in the wild type control.<br />
Compared to SSCP, the NIRCA method allows larger<br />
fragments to be analyzed, results are available immediately<br />
because no autoradiography or secondary detection steps<br />
are needed, and the electrophoresis step is complete in less<br />
that an hour with the convenience of agarose gels. Also, the<br />
size of the cleavage products provides an indication of the<br />
location of the mutation.<br />
Also available are p53 Screening Modules which, when used<br />
with the Mismatch Detect Kit, allow the human p53 tumor<br />
suppressor gene to be screened for point mutations using<br />
either cDNA or genomic DNA strategies. The modules<br />
contain a complete set of primers and control DNAs.<br />
