High-Resolution Detection of Loss of Heterozygosity of Dinucleotide Microsatellite Markers
Dinucleotide microsatellite markers are frequently investigated to study inheritance, genetic stability, and allele frequency distribution in a wide variety of genetic disorders. Previous studies have encountered significant problems regarding resolution

A conformational RNA zipper promotes intron ejection during non-conventional XBP1 mRNA splicing. [PDF]
The kinase/endonuclease IRE1 is the most conserved signal transducer of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an intracellular signaling network that monitors and regulates the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Cover Picture: Locked Nucleic Acids and Intercalating Nucleic Acids in the Design of Easily Denaturing Nucleic Acids: Thermal Stability Studies (ChemBioChem 12/2004) [PDF]
The cover picture shows fully modified locked nucleic acids (LNAs, orange) and intercalating nucleic acids (INAs®, red) with several insertions of (R)‐1‐O‐(1‐pyrenylmethyl)glycerol, both displaying higher binding affinity to native DNA (white) than to each other. In their full paper on p. 1673 ff, E. B. Pedersen et al.

Human PrimPol mutation associated with high myopia has a DNA replication defect [PDF]
PrimPol is a primase-polymerase found in humans, and other eukaryotes, involved in bypassing lesions encountered during DNA replication. PrimPol employs both translesion synthesis and repriming mechanisms to facilitate lesion bypass by the replisome ...

Thermal Stability of Peptide Nucleic Acid Complexes.
Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a neutral nucleic acid analogue that base pairs with itself and natural nucleic acids. PNA-nucleic acid complexes are more thermally stable than the corresponding complexes of natural nucleic acids.

Development of a nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay for simultaneous detection of Listeria spp. and Listeriamonocytogenes in food [PDF]
We present a new nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay (NALFIA) for the assessment of listeria contamination. The detection procedure starts with enrichment of sample in Half Fraser broth (24 h). Following isolation of DNA, a duplex PCR is performed with

Atomistic simulations of RNA duplex thermal denaturation: sequence- and forcefield-dependence
Double-stranded RNA is the end-product of template-based replication, and is also the functional state of some biological RNAs. Similarly to proteins and DNA, they can be denatured by temperature, with important physiological and technological ...
