Probing Rad51-DNA interactions by changing DNA twist [PDF]
In eukaryotes, Rad51 protein is responsible for the recombinational repair of double-strand DNA breaks. Rad51 monomers cooperatively assemble on exonuclease-processed broken ends forming helical nucleo-protein filaments that can pair with homologous regions of sister chromatids.

Label-Free Potentiometry for Detecting DNA Hybridization Using Peptide Nucleic Acid and DNA Probes
Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) has outstanding affinity over DNA for complementary nucleic acid sequences by forming a PNA-DNA heterodimer upon hybridization via Watson-Crick base-pairing.

Rescue of DNA damage after constricted migration reveals a mechano-regulated threshold for cell cycle. [PDF]
Migration through 3D constrictions can cause nuclear rupture and mislocalization of nuclear proteins, but damage to DNA remains uncertain, as does any effect on cell cycle.

Long Oligonucleotide Arrays on Nylon for Large-Scale Gene Expression Analysis
To date, most studies of multigenic expression patterns by long DNA array have used DNA fragments as probes. These probes are usually obtained as PCR products, and this represents a time-consuming and error-prone approach, requiring strict quality ...

Sex chromosome positions in human interphase nuclei as studied by in situ hybridization with chromosome specific DNA probes [PDF]
Two cloned repetitive DNA probes, pXBR and CY1, which bind preferentially to specific regions of the human X and Y chromosome, respectively, were used to study the distribution of the sex chromosomes in human lymphocyte nuclei by in situ hybridization ...

Optimising the analysis of transcript data using high density oligonucleotide arrays and genomic DNA-based probe selection [PDF]
Background: Affymetrix GeneChip arrays are widely used for transcriptomic studies in a diverse range of species. Each gene is represented on a GeneChip array by a probe-set, consisting of up to 16 probe-pairs. Signal intensities across probe-pairs within

Direct probing: covalent attachment of probe DNA to double-stranded target DNA [PDF]
We report a novel procedure, which can be applied to probing of specific DNA, for covalently attaching probe DNA to complementary sequences in double-stranded target DNA. Employing hairpin-like oligonucleotide probes in combination with successive use of recA protein and DNA ligase, probes can be attached directly to target DNA molecules without ...

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

DNA-based digital tension probes reveal integrin forces during early cell adhesion
Mechanical stimuli profoundly alter cell fate, yet the mechanisms underlying mechanotransduction remain obscure because of a lack of methods for molecular force imaging.
