Rad27/FEN1 prevents accumulation of Okazaki fragments and ribosomal DNA copy number changes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The budding yeast Rad27 is a structure‐specific endonuclease. Here, the authors reveal that Rad27 is crucial for maintaining the stability of the ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) region. Rad27 deficiency leads to the accumulation of Okazaki fragments and changes in rDNA copy number.

A service oriented architecture for engineering design [PDF]
, 2004 Decision making in engineering design can be effectively addressed by using genetic algorithms to solve multi-objective problems. These multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) are well suited to implementation in a Service Oriented Architecture ...

Engineering Switches, Genetically [PDF]
Chemistry & Biology, 2004 Ostermeier, Guntas, and Mitchel describe a new approach to design enzymes that are allosterically regulated by an unrelated ligand . The resulting protein, constructed by nonhomologous recombination and genetic screens, displays switch-like behavior.

Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is stimulated by red light irradiation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Light at different wavelengths has distinct effects on keratinocyte viability and metabolism. UVA light abrogates metabolic fluxes. Blue and green light have no effect on metabolic fluxes, while red light enhanced oxidative phosphorylation by promoting fatty acid oxidation. Keratinocytes are the primary constituents of sunlight‐exposed epidermis.

An In silico Approach towards Finding the Cancer-Causing Mutations in Human MET Gene
International Journal of Genomics, 2023 Mesenchymal–epithelial transition (MET) factor is a proto-oncogene encoding tyrosine kinase receptor with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or scatter factor (SF). It is found on the human chromosome number 7 and regulates the diverse cellular mechanisms of

Partial Trajectory: The Story of the Altered Nuclear Transfer-Oocyte Assisted Reprogramming (ANT-OAR) Proposal [PDF]
, 2007 This essay aims to tell the story of the “altered nuclear transfer-oocyte assisted reprogramming,” or ANT-OAR, proposal—from its conception by Professor William Hurlbut of the President’s Council on Bioethics—to its adoption and promotion by a group of ...
