The Urea Carboxylase and Allophanate Hydrolase Activities of Urea Amidolyase Are Functionally Independent [PDF]
Urea amidolyase (UAL) is a multifunctional biotin-dependent enzyme that contributes to both bacterial and fungal pathogenicity by catalyzing the ATP-dependent cleavage of urea into ammonia and CO2.

INTEGRATE-Neo: A pipeline for personalized gene fusion neoantigen discovery [PDF]
Motivation While high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has been used successfully to discover tumor-specific mutant peptides (neoantigens) from somatic missense mutations, the field currently lacks a method for identifying which gene fusions

Unscrambling cancer genomes via integrated analysis of structural variation and copy number
Summary: Complex somatic genomic rearrangements and copy number alterations are hallmarks of nearly all cancers. We have developed an algorithm, LINX, to aid interpretation of structural variant and copy number data derived from short-read, whole-genome ...

Insertional gene fusion technology
The classical ‘end to end’ gene fusion technique has widely been used for monitoring gene expression, biological screening and purification of recombinant proteins. Recent progress with the ‘insertional’ gene fusion approach, on the other hand, has demonstrated that this technique can be utilized for membrane protein topology analysis, display of ...

Massive NGS data analysis reveals hundreds of potential novel gene fusions in human cell lines [PDF]
Background: Gene fusions derive from chromosomal rearrangements and the resulting chimeric transcripts are often endowed with oncogenic potential. Furthermore, they serve as diagnostic tools for the clinical classification of cancer subgroups with ...

miRNA-convergent gene fusions [PDF]
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, we showed that intron-encoded microRNA genes (miRNA) are frequent partners of fusion genes in the cancer genome. Analyzed from a functional rather than structural perspective, these rearrangements represent a new class of fusions we called "miRNA-convergent fusions".

FusionGDB: fusion gene annotation DataBase [PDF]
Gene fusion is one of the hallmarks of cancer genome via chromosomal rearrangement initiated by DNA double-strand breakage. To date, many fusion genes (FGs) have been established as important biomarkers and therapeutic targets in multiple cancer types.

Expression in Escherichia coli of a cloned DNA sequence encoding the pre-S2 region of hepatitis B virus [PDF]
A DNA sequence encoding the entire pre-S2 region (amino acids 120-174; serotype ayw) of human hepatitis B virus envelope protein has been inserted into the lacZ gene of the plasmid pSKS105 yielding a recombinant, pWS3.
