Arabidopsis RecQl4A suppresses homologous recombination and modulates DNA damage responses [PDF]
The DNA damage response and DNA recombination are two interrelated mechanisms involved in maintaining the integrity of the genome, but in plants they are poorly understood.

RAG-dependent recombination at cryptic RSSs within TEL–AML1 t(12;21)(p13;q22) chromosomal translocation region [PDF]
The recombination activating gene (RAG) is a lymphoid-specific endonuclease involved in the V(D)J recombination. It has long been proposed that mis-targeting of RAG proteins is one of the factors contributing to lymphoid chromosomal translocation bearing

Deciphering extrachromosomal circular DNA in Arabidopsis
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is independent of the chromosome and exists in many eukaryotes. However, the nature and origin of eccDNA in plants remains unclear.

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 ...

Effects of an Unusual Poison Identify a Lifespan Role for Topoisomerase 2 in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae [PDF]
A progressive loss of genome maintenance has been implicated as both a cause and consequence of aging. Here we present evidence supporting the hypothesis that an age-associated decay in genome maintenance promotes aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast)

piR‐RCC Suppresses Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression by Facilitating YBX‐1 Cytoplasm Localization
PIWI‐interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a novel category of small non‐coding RNAs, have been implicated in the development of various diseases. This study explores the tumor‐suppressive mechanism of a downregulated piRNA (designated piR‐RCC) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and provides a delivery strategy targeting RCC tumor by constructing a cell membrane ...

TRE5-A retrotransposition profiling reveals putative RNA polymerase III transcription complex binding sites on the Dictyostelium extrachromosomal rDNA element. [PDF]
The amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has a haploid genome in which two thirds of the DNA encodes proteins. Consequently, the space available for selfish mobile elements to expand without excess damage to the host genome is limited.

Bimodal activation of different neuron classes with the spectrally red-shifted channelrhodopsin chimera C1V1 in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
The C. elegans nervous system is particularly well suited for optogenetic analyses of circuit function: Essentially all connections have been mapped, and light can be directed at the neuron of interest in the freely moving, transparent animals, while ...

Complete genome sequence of Halorhabdus utahensis type strain (AX-2). [PDF]
Halorhabdus utahensis Wainø et al. 2000 is the type species of the genus, which is of phylogenetic interest because of its location on one of the deepest branches within the very extensive euryarchaeal family Halobacteriaceae. H.
