DNA-Mediated Electrochemistry [PDF]
, 2008 The base pair stack of DNA has been demonstrated as a medium for long-range charge transport chemistry both in solution and at DNA-modified surfaces. This chemistry is exquisitely sensitive to structural perturbations in the base pair stack as occur with

FACT Assists Base Excision Repair by Boosting the Remodeling Activity of RSC. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 FACT, in addition to its role in transcription, is likely implicated in both transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair and DNA double strand break repair.

Contribution of MUTYH variants to male breast cancer risk: results from a multicenter study in Italy [PDF]
, 2018 Inherited mutations in BRCA1, and, mainly, BRCA2 genes are associated with increased risk of male breast cancer (MBC). Mutations in PALB2 and CHEK2 genes may also increase MBC risk.

Targeted DNA demethylation of the Arabidopsis genome using the human TET1 catalytic domain. [PDF]
, 2018 DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in gene regulation and transposable element silencing. Changes in DNA methylation can be heritable and, thus, can lead to the formation of stable epialleles. A well-characterized example of

Mitochondrial inhibition of uracil-DNA glycosylase is not mutagenic
Molecular Cancer, 2004 Background Uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) plays a major role in repair of uracil formed due to deamination of cytosine. UDG in human cells is present in both the nucleus and mitochondrial compartments.

Accumulation of DNA damage alters microRNA gene transcription in Arabidopsis thaliana
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and other epigenetic modifications play fundamental roles in all eukaryotic biological processes. DNA damage repair is a key process for maintaining the genomic integrity of different organisms exposed to diverse stresses ...

Analysis of the machinery and intermediates of the 5hmC-mediated DNA demethylation pathway in aging on samples from the MARKAGE Study [PDF]
, 2016 Gradual changes in the DNA methylation landscape occur throughout aging virtually in all human tissues. A widespread reduction of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), associated with highly reproducible site-specific hypermethylation, characterizes the genome in ...

DNA demethylation by ROS1a in rice vegetative cells promotes methylation in sperm. [PDF]
, 2019 Epigenetic reprogramming is required for proper regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic organisms. In Arabidopsis, active DNA demethylation is crucial for seed viability, pollen function, and successful reproduction. The DEMETER (DME) DNA glycosylase
