Boosting plant immunity with CRISPR/Cas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
CRISPR/Cas has recently been transferred to plants to make them resistant to geminiviruses, a damaging family of DNA viruses. We discuss the potential and the limitations of this method.See related Research: http://www.genomebiology.com/2015/16/1 ...

Biological Consequences of Tightly Bent DNA: The Other Life of a Macromolecular Celebrity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The mechanical properties of DNA play a critical role in many biological functions. For example, DNA packing in viruses involves confining the viral genome in a volume (the viral capsid) with dimensions that are comparable to the DNA persistence length ...

Mechanics of DNA packaging in viruses [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
A new generation of single-molecule experiments has opened up the possibility of reexamining many of the fundamental processes of biochemistry and molecular biology from a unique and quantitative perspective. One technique producing a host of intriguing results is the use of optical tweezers to measure the mechanical forces exerted by molecular motors ...

Diversity of CRESS DNA Viruses in Squamates Recapitulates Hosts Dietary and Environmental Sources of Exposure

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses comprise viruses with covalently closed, circular, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genomes, and are considered the smallest known autonomously replicating, capsid-encoding ...

The RNA Epitranscriptome of DNA Viruses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2018
RNA modifications have generated much interest in the virology field, as recent works have shown that many viruses harbor these marks and modify cellular marks. The most abundant mRNA modification in eukaryotic cells, N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A), has been examined extensively at ...
