| Abstract | The low-complexity 'gene-sized' linear DNA duplexes of the Oxytricha macronucleus sport short inverted terminal repeats; thus, each single strand is capable of forming a circle held together by a duplex 'neck' [Wesley, R. D. (1975) Porc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 72, 678--682]. We have isolated necks from total, circularized, single-stranded macronuclear DNA by treatment with nuclease S1. Necks represent at least 2.2% of the total DNA, are homogeneous in size (23 base pairs), melt at 55 degrees in 0.18 M Na+, and reassociate extremely rapidly at 22 degrees (Cot1/2 = 1.1 X 10(-5) mol-liter-1.sec) to form hybrid necks of the same thermal stability. From these and other results, we conclude that all necks on all the many thousands of different single-stranded circles are the same. The neck sequence is therefore highly repetitious--found in multiple copies (as inverted terminal repeats at flush duplex ends and probably also internally) on each natural 'gene-sized' macronuclear DNA molecule--implying the possible participation of this sequence both in the general vegetative metabolism of macronuclear DNA and in the pre-vegetative process whereby macronuclear DNA is excised from the total Oxytricha genome. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
