Modulating signaling networks by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated transposable element insertion [PDF]
In a recent past, transposable elements (TEs) were referred to as selfish genetic components only capable of copying themselves with the aim of increasing the odds of being inherited.

Binding of the Tn3 transposase to the inverted repeats of Tn3
The transposase protein and the inverted repeat sequences of Tn3 are both essential for Tn3 cointegrate formation and transposition. We have developed two assays to detect site-specific binding of transposase to the inverted repeats: (1) a nitrocellulose filter binding assay in which transposase preferentially retains DNA fragments containing inverted ...

Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy: Distinctive MRI Changes in Cerebellar and Motor Networks
ABSTRACT Objective Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) is a rare generalized epilepsy syndrome with a well‐characterized genetic basis. The brain networks that are affected to give rise to the distinctive symptoms of PME are less well understood. Methods Eleven individuals with PME with a confirmed genetic diagnosis and 22 controls were studied.

Amplification of a plasmid bearing a mammalian replication initiation region in chromosomal and extrachromosomal contexts [PDF]
Amplified genes in cancer cells reside on extrachromosomal double minutes (DMs) or chromosomal homogeneously staining regions (HSRs). We used a plasmid bearing a mammalian replication initiation region to model gene amplification. Recombination junctions

Detection and Characterization of Local Inverted Repeats Regularities [PDF]
To explore the inverted repeats regularities along the genome sequences, we propose a sliding window method to extract the concentration scores of inverted repeats periodic regularities and the total mass of possible inverted repeats pairs. We apply the method to the human genome and locate the regions with the potential for the formation of large ...

Dual‐Phase C‐11 PiB PET Images for Detecting Tau Pathology in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
ABSTRACT Background Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly, and frequently coexists with Alzheimer's disease and tau pathology. Dual‐phase 11C‐PiB PET detects amyloid deposition and cerebral perfusion changes and may have diagnostic value for identifying tau in CAA ...

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hypolepis sparsisora (Dennstaedtiaceae)
The complete chloroplast DNA sequence of Hypolepis sparsisora was the first time to report with 150,839 bp in length. The structure of the chloroplast genome is composed in four regions, which consisted a large single-repeat region (LSC) of 84,285 bp, a ...
