Finding Needle in the Haystack: “Kasur’s Bogeyman” Brought to Justice by Geographic Profiling and Mass DNA Screening

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Forensic Sciences, Medical Law and Bioethics, 2021
This article describes the application of the concept of geographic profiling in hunting a serial child rapist in Kasur, Pakistan. It also discusses, how DNA became the prime witness against the serial rapist in the court of law.

Mitochondrial Dna Replacement Versus Nuclear Dna Persistence

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper we consider two populations whose generations are not overlapping and whose size is large. The number of males and females in both populations is constant.

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells.

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

Tissue distribution and retention drives efficacy of rapidly clearing VHL-based PROTACs

open access: yesCommunications Medicine
Background Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are being developed for therapeutic use. However, they have poor pharmacokinetic profiles and their tissue distribution kinetics are not known. Methods A typical von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL)—

Disorder in DNA-Linked Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies

open access: yes, 2005
We report experimental observations on the effect of disorder on the phase behavior of DNA-linked nanoparticle assemblies. Variation in DNA linker lengths results in different melting temperatures of the DNA-linked nanoparticle assemblies. We observed an

Base composition of DNA in adenovirus-12-induced tumor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
A series of experiments was conducted to study the base composition of DNA in AVl2-induced tumor and host cells by paper chromatography, and it was found that DNA per cent. guanine-cystosine contents were around 42 % in both of them. The base composition

DNA‐Origami‐Armored DNA Condensates

open access: yesChemBioChem
AbstractDNA condensates, formed by liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), emerge as promising soft matter assemblies for creating artificial cells. The advantages of DNA condensates are their molecular permeability through the surface due to their membrane‐less structure and their fluidic property.

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

High MYC mRNA expression is more clinically relevant than MYC DNA amplification in triple-negative breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
DNA abnormalities are used in inclusion criteria of clinical trials for treatments with specific targeted molecules. MYC is one of the most powerful oncogenes and is known to be associated with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
