Plant-RRBS, a bisulfite and next-generation sequencing-based methylome profiling method enriching for coverage of cytosine positions [PDF]
Background Cytosine methylation in plant genomes is important for the regulation of gene transcription and transposon activity. Genome-wide methylomes are studied upon mutation of the DNA methyltransferases, adaptation to environmental stresses or during

A radioimmunoassay for cytosine arabinoside [PDF]
A radioimmunoassay (RIA) for cytosine arabinoside (AraC) has been developed using antiserum raised in a sheep to an AraC monophosphate-ovalbumin conjugate. The antibody shows only 0.008% cross-reactivity with uracil arabinoside (AraU) and low (0.023%) cross-reactivity with other commonly co-administered drugs such as cytotoxic and antibacterial agents,

Adsorption of Nucleic Acid Bases, Ribose, and Phosphate by Some Clay Minerals
Besides having a large capacity for taking up organic molecules, clay minerals can catalyze a variety of organic reactions. Derived from rock weathering, clay minerals would have been abundant in the early Earth. As such, they might be expected to play a

Internuclear gene silencing in Phytophthora infestans is established through chromatin remodelling [PDF]
In the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans, nuclear integration of inf1 transgenic DNA sequences results in internuclear gene silencing of inf1. Although silencing is regulated at the transcriptional level, it also affects transcription from other ...
