DNA demethylation pathways: Additional players and regulators. [PDF]
DNA demethylation can occur passively by "dilution" of methylation marks by DNA replication, or actively and independently of DNA replication. Direct conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to cytosine (C), as originally proposed, does not occur.

Engineering of Peptide‐Inserted Base Editors with Enhanced Accuracy and Security
This work developed a novel peptide insertion strategy to enhance the performance of base editors. Through changing the composition and position of the inserted peptide, peptide‐inserted base editors are engineered to exhibit robust on‐target editing activity and improved precision.

Surveying the repair of ancient DNA from bones via high-throughput sequencing
DNA damage in the form of abasic sites, chemically altered nucleotides, and strand fragmentation is the foremost limitation in obtaining genetic information from many ancient samples. Upon cell death, DNA continues to endure various chemical attacks such

A Post‐Mortem Molecular Damage Profile in the Ancient Human Mitochondrial DNA
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis is crucial for understanding human population structure and genetic diversity. However, post‐mortem DNA damage poses challenges, that make analysis difficult. DNA preservation is affected by environmental conditions which, among other factors, complicates the differentiation of endogenous variants from ...

ROS1 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylase is a slow-turnover catalyst that initiates DNA demethylation in a distributive fashion [PDF]
Arabidopsis ROS1 belongs to a family of plant 5-methycytosine DNA glycosylases that initiate DNA demethylation through base excision. ROS1 displays the remarkable capacity to excise 5-meC, and to a lesser extent T, while retaining the ability to ...

Dietary restriction mitigates vascular aging in DNA‐repair‐deficient Ercc1Δ/− mice by reducing extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, oxidative stress, and switching of vascular smooth muscle cells to a macrophage‐like phenotype. Our findings suggest that the cGAS‐STING pathway plays a key role in vascular aging and that the benefits of dietary

The Fpg/Nei Family of DNA Glycosylases [PDF]
During the initial stages of the base excision DNA repair (BER) pathway, DNA glycosylases are responsible for locating and removing the majority of endogenous oxidative base lesions.

RBM39 Promotes Base Excision Repair to Facilitate the Progression of HCC by Stabilising OGG1 mRNA
Targeting RBM39 attenuates BER via destabilising OGG1 mRNA and potentiates KBrO3‐induced oxidative stress in HCC. Our study represents a valuable treatment strategy combining indisulam and an oxidative stress inducer in HCC. ABSTRACT Targeting base excision repair (BER) has been an attractive strategy in cancer therapeutics.

DNA Linear Block Codes: Generation, Error-detection and Error-correction of DNA Codeword [PDF]
In modern age, the increasing complexity of computation and communication technology is leading us towards the necessity of new paradigm. As a result, unconventional approach like DNA coding theory is gaining considerable attention. The storage capacity, information processing and transmission properties of DNA molecules stimulate the notion of DNA ...
