Specificity, flexibility and valence of DNA bonds guide emulsion architecture [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2013,9, 9816-9823, 2013 The specificity and thermal reversibility of DNA interactions have enabled the self-assembly of crystal structures, self-replicating materials and colloidal molecules. Grafting DNA onto liquid interfaces of emulsions leads to exciting new architectural possibilities due to the mobility of the DNA ligands and the patches they form between bound droplets.

Genetic Alterations in Mitochondrial DNA Are Complementary to Nuclear DNA Mutations in Pheochromocytomas [PDF]
Cancers, 2022 Background: Somatic mutations, copy-number variations, and genome instability of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been reported in different types of cancers and are suggested to play important roles in cancer development and metastasis. However, there is scarce information about pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PCCs/PGLs) formation.

RNA-programmed genome editing in human cells
eLife, 2013 Type II CRISPR immune systems in bacteria use a dual RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, Cas9, to cleave foreign DNA at specific sites. We show here that Cas9 assembles with hybrid guide RNAs in human cells and can induce the formation of double-strand DNA ...
