Recombinational DNA Repair in Cancer and Normal Cells: The Challenge of Functional Analysis [PDF]
A major goal of current cancer research is to understand the functional consequences of mutations in recombinational DNA repair genes. The introduction of artificial recombination substrates into living cells has evolved into a powerful tool to perform ...

Circlehunter: a tool to identify extrachromosomal circular DNA from ATAC-Seq data
In cancer, extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA), or megabase-pair amplified circular DNA, plays an essential role in intercellular heterogeneity and tumor cell revolution because of its non-Mendelian inheritance.

ATAC-seq identifies thousands of extrachromosomal circular DNA in cancer and cell lines
EccDNAs are hiding in plain sight in conventional ATAC-seq data. Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are somatically mosaic and contribute to intercellular heterogeneity in normal and tumor cells.

Sequence-independent identification of active LTR retrotransposons in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Detection of retrotransposons capable of contemporary transposition is hampered by the replicative nature of their movement and is usually limited to fortuitous observations of new integration events causing visible phenotypes.
