More efficient repair of DNA double-strand breaks in skeletal muscle stem cells compared to their committed progeny

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2014
The loss of genome integrity in adult stem cells results in accelerated tissue aging and is possibly cancerogenic. Adult stem cells in different tissues appear to react robustly to DNA damage.

A recombinant DNA‐satellite associated with Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus in highland area

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2021
Yellow curl disease caused by begomovirus is a major threat for horticulture in Indonesia. Control mea‐ sures for the disease face several constraints, one of which is the association between begomovirus and DNA satellites which can affect the severity ...

Assessing the Epigenetic Status of Human Telomeres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The epigenetic modifications of human telomeres play a relevant role in telomere functions and cell proliferation. Therefore, their study is becoming an issue of major interest.

A conserved function for pericentromeric satellite DNA

open access: yeseLife, 2018
A universal and unquestioned characteristic of eukaryotic cells is that the genome is divided into multiple chromosomes and encapsulated in a single nucleus. However, the underlying mechanism to ensure such a configuration is unknown.

RNA from a simple-tandem repeat is required for sperm maturation and male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Tandemly-repeated DNAs, or satellites, are enriched in heterochromatic regions of eukaryotic genomes and contribute to nuclear structure and function. Some satellites are transcribed, but we lack direct evidence that specific satellite RNAs are required ...

Molecular characterization of SSS139, a new satellite DNA family in sibling species of the Drosophila buzzatii cluster

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
We characterized sequences of a novel SSS139 RsaI satellite DNA family in Drosophila gouveai and Drosophila seriema, two members of the Drosophila buzzatii cluster (D. repleta group).

Repeats as global DNA methylation marker in bovine preimplantation embryos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
DNA methylation undergoes dynamic changes and is a crucial part of the epigenetic regulation during mammalian early development. To determine the DNA methylation levels in bovine embryos, we applied a bisulfite sequencing based method aimed at repetitive

Regenerative capacity of old muscle stem cells declines without significant accumulation of DNA damage.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The performance of adult stem cells is crucial for tissue homeostasis but their regenerative capacity declines with age, leading to failure of multiple organs.

Structural basis for DNMT3A-mediated de novo DNA methylation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
DNA methylation by de novo DNA methyltransferases 3A (DNMT3A) and 3B (DNMT3B) at cytosines is essential for genome regulation and development. Dysregulation of this process is implicated in various diseases, notably cancer.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Satellite DNA Repeats across the Tettigoniidae Family: Insights from Genomic Analysis

open access: yesBiomolecules
Satellite DNA repeats are repetitive DNA sequences found in eukaryotic genomes, typically consisting of short DNA motifs repeated in tandem arrays. Despite the vast body of literature on satellite DNA repeats in other taxa, investigations specifically ...
