Gene Amplification: Yeast Takes a Turn [PDF]
The origins of gene amplifications in mammalian cells have been difficult to analyze because of secondary genome rearrangements. Recent studies in budding yeast, including in this issue of Cell, have provided new insights into the role of palindromic sequences in gene amplification.

Virus-transformed pre-B cells show ordered activation but not inactivation of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and transcription [PDF]
Virus-transformed pre-B cells undergo ordered immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements during culture. We devised a series of highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction assays for Ig gene rearrangement and unrearranged Ig gene segment transcription to ...

Revisiting Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Amplification as a Target for Anti-EGFR Therapy: Analysis of Cell-Free Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients With Advanced Malignancies. [PDF]
PurposeTo date, evidence for tissue epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression as a biomarker for anti-EGFR therapies has been weak. We investigated the genomic landscape of EGFR amplification in blood-derived cell-free tumor DNA (cfDNA ...

Gene amplification of the histone methyltransferase SETDB1 contributes to human lung tumorigenesis
Disruption of the histone modification patterns is one of the most common features of human tumors. However, few genetic alterations in the histone modifier genes have been described in tumorigenesis.

Gene Amplification in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
A strain of Bacillus subtilis that carries in its genome a staphylococcal chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene (from pC194) responds to growth at different concentrations of chloramphenicol by an alteration in the number of copies per genome of the sequences encoding the gene.

Nanomolecular detection of human influenza virus type A using reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assisted with rod-shaped gold nanoparticles [PDF]
Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and rod-shaped gold nanoparticles (gold nanorods; GNRs) were employed for nanomolecular detection of human influenza virus type A RNA.
