After obtaining the 3’cDNA and 5’cDNA fragments with a overlapped region by 3’RACE and 5’RACE, the full-length cDNA could be generated by end-to-end PCR or subcloning. In this study, 3’RACE combined with touch-down PCR was successfully used for the rapid construction of full-length MnSOD cDNA of chickens. Compared with the conventional end-to-end PCR or subcloning, this method, called one-step 3’RACE, is fast, economical and highly specific. It especially fits the rapid construction of full-length cDNA by RACE method.

Feature selection for the prediction of translation initiation sites

Translation initiation sites （TISs） are important signals in cDNA sequences. In many previous attempts to predict TISs in cDNA sequences, three major factors affect the prediction performance： the nature of the cDNA sequence sets, the relevant features selected. and the classification methods used. In this paper, we examine different approaches to select and integrate relevant features for TIS prediction. The top selected significant features include the features from the position weight matrix and the propensity matrix, the number of nucleotide C in the sequence downstream ATG, the number of downstream stop codons. the number of upstream ATGs, and the number of some amino acids, such as amino acids A and D. With the numerical data generated from these features, different classification methods, including decision tree. naive Bayes, and support vector machine, were applied to three independent sequence sets. The identified significant features were found to be biologically meaningful. while the experiments showed promising results.

3' RACE walking along a large cDNA employing tiered suppression PCR

Large genes present particular cloning difficulties, especially when expressed at relatively low levels. We describe a novel method, termed 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) walking, for the rapid determination of unknown 3' flanking sequence of a large cDNA. The technique is a derivative of the anchored PCR 5' RACE procedure but includes a specific and limited second-strand cDNA synthesis and a tiered "panhandle" suppression of nonspecific products. The method generated 900 bp of new sequence for the large tammar wallaby ATRY gene in two easy steps, in which standard 3' RACE and PCR-based cDNA library walking proved unsuccessful. This robust approach represents a new tool for isolating unknown sequence under challenging cloning scenarios such as poor library representation, long coding regions, long 3' untranslated regions, and difficult template regions.

3' end cDNA amplification using classic RACE

Having knowledge of the entire 3' sequence of a cDNA is often important because the non-coding terminal region can contain signals that regulate the stability or subcellular localization of the mRNA. Also, some messages use alternative genomic sites for cleavage and polyadenylation that can alter the above properties, or change the encoded protein. Full-length cDNAs can be obtained from complex mixtures of cellular mRNA using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR as long as part of the mRNA sequence is known; adding non-specific tags to the ends of the cDNA allows the regions between the known parts of the sequence and the ends to be amplified. In 3' RACE, the poly(A) tail functions as a non-specific tag at the 3' end of the mRNA. cDNA ends can be obtained in 1-3 days using this protocol.
