DNA insertion mutations can be predicted by a periodic probability function [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
It is generally difficult to predict the positions of mutations in genomic DNA at the nucleotide level. Retroviral DNA insertion is one mode of mutation, resulting in host infections that are difficult to treat. This mutation process involves the integration of retroviral DNA into the host-infected cellular genomic DNA following the interaction between

A review of Mpox: Biological characteristics, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies

Exploration, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2025.
The monkeypox virus (MPXV) has spread to many countries and caused thousands of infections all over the world. This review comprehensively introduces the biology, epidemiological characteristics of MPXV, and clinical manifestations of Mpox. The approaches for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are also introduced, aiming to improve the general ...

The Art of DNA Strings: Sixteen Years of DNA Coding Theory [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The idea of computing with DNA was given by Tom Head in 1987, however in 1994 in a seminal paper, the actual successful experiment for DNA computing was performed by Adleman. The heart of the DNA computing is the DNA hybridization, however, it is also the source of errors.

The RNA Binding Protein Bcas2 is Required for Antibody Class Switch in Activated‐B Cells

Exploration, EarlyView.
Bcas2 recruits DHX15 and SRSF7 to form a protein complex for the splicing of CSR‐related mRNA at the 5' ss and 3' ss, generating two mature mRNA isoforms, which are ultimately translated into CSR‐related proteins. These CSR‐related proteins bind to DNA associated with antibodies, affecting the DSB repair of the relevant DNA after AID induction, thereby

Targeted DNA demethylation in human cells by fusion of a plant 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase to a sequence-specific DNA binding domain

Epigenetics, 2017
DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic mark associated to gene silencing, and its targeted removal is a major goal of epigenetic editing. In animal cells, DNA demethylation involves iterative 5mC oxidation by TET enzymes followed by replication ...

Thymine DNA glycosylase specifically recognizes 5-carboxylcytosine-modified DNA

Nature Chemical Biology, 2012
Human thymine DNA glycosylase (hTDG) efficiently excises 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC), a key oxidation product of 5-methylcytosine in a recently discovered cytosine demethylation pathway.

Comprehensive genetic and epigenetic characterization of Lynch‐like syndrome patients

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lynch‐like syndrome is associated with development of colorectal cancer (CRC) with microsatellite instability and loss of expression of certain mismatch repair (MMR) genes, similar to Lynch syndrome, but unlike Lynch syndrome, the genetic cause of Lynch‐like syndrome (LLS) remains unknown.

Genome-wide distribution of 5-formylcytosine in embryonic stem cells is associated with transcription and depends on thymine DNA glycosylase

Genome Biology, 2012
BackgroundMethylation of cytosine in DNA (5mC) is an important epigenetic mark that is involved in the regulation of genome function. During early embryonic development in mammals, the methylation landscape is dynamically reprogrammed in part through ...

A common SNP in the UNG gene decreases ovarian cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers

Molecular Oncology, 2019
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA glycosylase genes involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway can modify breast and ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.

Unzipping of knotted DNA via nanopore translocation [PDF]

QRB Discovery 6 (2025) e4
DNA unzipping by nanopore translocation has implications in diverse contexts, from polymer physics to single-molecule manipulation to DNA-enzyme interactions in biological systems. Here we use molecular dynamics simulations and a coarse-grained model of DNA to address the nanopore unzipping of DNA filaments that are knotted. This previously unaddressed
