DNA Self-Assembly and Computation Studied with a Coarse-grained Dynamic Bonded Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
We study DNA self-assembly and DNA computation using a coarse-grained DNA model within the directional dynamic bonding framework {[}C. Svaneborg, Comp. Phys. Comm. 183, 1793 (2012){]}. In our model, a single nucleotide or domain is represented by a single interaction site. Complementary sites can reversibly hybridize and dehybridize during a simulation.

Molecular and functional profiling unravels targetable vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We used whole exome and RNA‐sequencing to profile divergent genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of microsatellite stable (MSS) and microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer. Alterations were classified using a computational score for integrative cancer variant annotation and prioritization.

Position-dependent effects on stability in tricyclo-DNA modified oligonucleotide duplexes [PDF]

, 2017
A series of oligodeoxyribonucleotides and oligoribonucleotides containing single and multiple tricyclo(tc)-nucleosides in various arrangements were prepared and the thermal and thermodynamic transition profiles of duplexes with complementary DNA and RNA ...

Molecular Spiders with Memory

, 2007
Synthetic bio-molecular spiders with "legs" made of single-stranded segments of DNA can move on a surface which is also covered by single-stranded segments of DNA complementary to the leg DNA.

Real-space and real-time dynamics of CRISPR-Cas9 visualized by high-speed atomic force microscopy

Nature Communications, 2017
CRISPR RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9 recognizes and cleaves the double-stranded DNA complementary to the RNA guide. Here the authors use high-speed atomic force micropcopy (HS-AFM) to visualize the conformational dynamics of Cas9 during its DNA targeting ...

Stochastic variation in the FOXM1 transcription program mediates replication stress tolerance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cellular heterogeneity is a major cause of drug resistance in cancer. Segeren et al. used single‐cell transcriptomics to investigate gene expression events that correlate with sensitivity to the DNA‐damaging drugs gemcitabine and prexasertib. They show that dampened expression of transcription factor FOXM1 and its target genes protected cells against ...

Argonaute bypasses cellular obstacles without hindrance during target search

Nature Communications, 2019
Argonaute protein is loaded with small RNA and scans long stretch of sequences to find complementary target sites. Here, using single-molecule FRET and kinetic modelling, the authors showed that prokaryotic Argonaute protein binds target DNA loosely and ...

Generalized Poland-Scheraga model for DNA hybridization [PDF]

arXiv, 2004
The Poland-Scheraga (PS) model for the helix-coil transition of DNA considers the statistical mechanics of the binding (or hybridization) of two complementary strands of DNA of equal length, with the restriction that only bases with the same index along the strands are allowed to bind.

Classification of acute myeloid leukemia based on multi‐omics and prognosis prediction value

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The Unsupervised AML Multi‐Omics Classification System (UAMOCS) integrates genomic, methylation, and transcriptomic data to categorize AML patients into three subtypes (UAMOCS1‐3). This classification reveals clinical relevance, highlighting immune and chromosomal characteristics, prognosis, and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Adverse prognosis gene expression patterns in metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We aggregated a cohort of 1012 mCRPC tissue samples from 769 patients and investigated the association of gene expression‐based pathways with clinical outcomes. Loss of AR signaling, high proliferation, and a glycolytic phenotype were independently prognostic for poor outcomes, and an adverse transcriptional feature score incorporating these pathways ...
