Microsatellite loci are highly informative genetic markers useful for population genetic studies, linkage mapping and parentage determination. Methods to identify novel microsatellite loci commonly use subtractive hybridization to enrich smallinsert ...

Mechanism of DNA Recognition by the Restriction Enzyme EcoRV
EcoRV, a restriction enzyme in Escherichia coli, destroys invading foreign DNA by cleaving it at the center step of a GATATC sequence. In the EcoRV-cognate DNA crystallographic complex, a sharp kink of 50 degrees has been found at the center base-pair step (TA).

Biomolecular computers with multiple restriction enzymes
The development of conventional, silicon-based computers has several limitations, including some related to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the von Neumann “bottleneck”.

Alleviation of restriction by DNA condensation and non-specific DNA binding ligands [PDF]
During conditions of cell stress, the type I restriction and modification enzymes of bacteria show reduced, but not zero, levels of restriction of unmethylated foreign DNA.

Accelerated search kinetics mediated by redox reactions of DNA repair enzymes [PDF]
A Charge Transport (CT) mechanism has been proposed in several papers (e.g., Yavin, et al. PNAS, v102 3546 (2005)) to explain the localization of Base Excision Repair (BER) enzymes to lesions on DNA. The CT mechanism relies on redox reactions of iron-sulfur cofactors that modify the enzyme's binding affinity.

A method for generating limited representations of total bacterial DNA, without prior knowledge of the DNA sequence, has been developed. This method consists of three steps: digestion with two restriction enzymes, ligation of two oligonucleotide adapters

Enhancement of PCRs by Partial Restriction Digestion of Genomic Templates
Genomic DNA preparations derived from mammalian cells can often exhibit poor template activity in PCR, particularly when carried out on target sequences present at low copy number. Using genomic DNA bearing SV40 sequences integrated into host chromosomal

The Computational Power of Benenson Automata [PDF]
The development of autonomous molecular computers capable of making independent decisions in vivo regarding local drug administration may revolutionize medical science. Recently Benenson at el (2004) have envisioned one form such a ``smart drug'' may take by implementing an in vitro scheme, in which a long DNA state molecule is cut repeatedly by a ...

Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Linkage Map for Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
We have constructed a restriction fragment length polymorphism linkage map for the nuclear genome of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The map, containing 90 randomly distributed molecular markers, is physically very dense; >50% of the genome is ...
