CRISPR/Cas9-mediated phage resistance is not impeded by the DNA modifications of phage T4.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Bacteria rely on two known DNA-level defenses against their bacteriophage predators: restriction-modification and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems.

miR-148b reverses cisplatin-resistance in non-small cell cancer cells via negatively regulating DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1(DNMT1) expression

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2015
BackgroundThe emergence of drug resistance in cancer patients limits the success rate of clinical chemotherapy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may play a role in chemoresistance and may be involved in modulating of some drug resistance-related pathways in cancer ...

Crucial parameters for precise copy number variation detection in formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded solid cancer samples

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that copy number variations (CNVs) can be reliably detected in formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) solid cancer samples using ultra‐low‐pass whole‐genome sequencing, provided that key (pre)‐analytical parameters are optimized.

Neil3-dependent base excision repair regulates lipid metabolism and prevents atherosclerosis in Apoe-deficient mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative DNA damage accumulates in atherosclerosis. Recently, we showed that a genetic variant in the human DNA repair enzyme NEIL3 was associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction. Here, we explored the role

Artificial escape from XCI by DNA methylation editing of the CDKL5 gene. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A significant number of X-linked genes escape from X chromosome inactivation and are associated with a distinct epigenetic signature. One epigenetic modification that strongly correlates with X-escape is reduced DNA methylation in promoter regions. Here,

Understanding the Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of arboviruses in mosquitoes: progress and challenges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a considerable threat to human and animal health, yet effective control measures have proven difficult to implement, and novel means of controlling their replication in arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, are

Evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome in Daphne (Thymelaeaceae): comparative analysis with related genera and insights into phylogenetics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

Determination of Methylation Site of DNA-Methyltransferase NlaX by a Hybrid Method

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2002
Using a new method based on a combination of bisulfite reaction, the repair enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase, and synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides, the methylation site of DNA-methyltransferase NlaX (M·NlaX) from Neisseria lactamica was established to be

The interplay of DNA methyltransferases and demethylases with tuberization genes in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes under high temperature

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Potato is a temperate crop consumed globally as a staple food. High temperature negatively impacts the tuberization process, eventually affecting crop yield.

Small RNA-mediated DNA (cytosine-5) methyltransferase 1 inhibition leads to aberrant DNA methylation [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2015
Mammalian cells contain copious amounts of RNA including both coding and noncoding RNA (ncRNA). Generally the ncRNAs function to regulate gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Among ncRNA, the long ncRNA and small ncRNA can affect histone modification, DNA methylation targeting and gene silencing.
