Elucidating the genetic mechanisms governing cytosine base editing outcomes through CRISPRi screens
Cytosine base editors enable programmable and efficient genome editing using an intermediate featuring a U•G mismatch across from a DNA nick. This intermediate facilitates two major outcomes, C•G to T•A and C•G to G•C point mutations, and it is not ...

1H NMR determination of base‐pair lifetimes in oligonucleotides containing single base mismatches [PDF]
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is employed to characterize the kinetics of base-pair opening in a series of 9mer duplexes containing different single base mismatches. The imino protons from the different mismatched, as well as fully matched, duplexes are assigned from the imino-imino region in the WATERGATE NOESY spectra.

Mismatch repair balances leading and lagging strand DNA replication fidelity.
The two DNA strands of the nuclear genome are replicated asymmetrically using three DNA polymerases, α, δ, and ε. Current evidence suggests that DNA polymerase ε (Pol ε) is the primary leading strand replicase, whereas Pols α and δ primarily perform ...

Sequence variants affecting the genome-wide rate of germline microsatellite mutations
Microsatellites are polymorphic tracts of short tandem repeats with one to six base-pair (bp) motifs and are some of the most polymorphic variants in the genome.

Identification of I:A mismatch base-pairing structure in DNA.
Deoxyoligonucleotides containing deoxyinosine residues at positions corresponding to ambiguous nucleotides derived from an amino acid sequence have been successfully used as hybridization probes. It is assumed that the hypoxanthine residue can make base pairs with multiple bases.
