Detection rate for ESR1 mutations is higher in circulating‐tumor‐cell‐derived genomic DNA than in paired plasma cell‐free DNA samples as revealed by ddPCR

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.

Pyrene-modified PNAs: Stacking interactions and selective excimer emission in PNA2DNA triplexes

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014
Pyrene derivatives can be incorporated into nucleic acid analogs in order to obtain switchable probes or supramolecular architectures. In this paper, peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) containing 1 to 3 1-pyreneacetic acid units (PNA1–6) with a sequence with ...

Nanosecond chain dynamics of single-stranded nucleic acids [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The conformational dynamics of single-stranded nucleic acids are fundamental for nucleic acid folding and function. However, their elementary chain dynamics have been difficult to resolve experimentally. Here we employ a combination of single-molecule F\"orster resonance energy transfer, nanosecond fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, fluorescence ...

Analysis of comprehensive genomic profiling of solid tumors with a novel assay for broad analysis in clinical diagnostics

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In molecular cancer diagnostics, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is going to replace the small NGS panels since it provides all clinically relevant somatic variants as well as genomic biomarkers with clinical value. Here, we compared two CGP assays and demonstrate that the choice for diagnostic implementation will depend on the specific ...

A CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection method for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus

Virus Research, 2022
Objective: Fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTS) is a tick-borne infection now known to spread among humans as an aerosol, which has resulted in several outbreaks across Asia over the past decade.

By-product formation in repetitive PCR amplification of DNA libraries during SELEX. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The selection of nucleic acid aptamers is an increasingly important approach to generate specific ligands binding to virtually any molecule of choice. However, selection-inherent amplification procedures are prone to artificial by-product formation that ...

Flexibility of nucleic acids: from DNA to RNA [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The structural flexibility of nucleic acids plays a key role in many fundamental life processes, such as gene replication and expression, DNA-protein recognition, and gene regulation. To obtain a thorough understanding of nucleic acid flexibility, extensive studies have been performed using various experimental methods and theoretical models.

Solution of the Crow-Kimura and Eigen models for alphabets of arbitrary size by Schwinger spin coherent states [PDF]

, 2009
To represent the evolution of nucleic acid and protein sequence, we express the parallel and Eigen models for molecular evolution in terms of a functional integral representation with an $h$-letter alphabet, lifting the two-state, purine/pyrimidine assumption often made in quasi-species theory. For arbitrary $h$ and a general mutation scheme, we obtain

Molecular and functional profiling unravels targetable vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We used whole exome and RNA‐sequencing to profile divergent genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of microsatellite stable (MSS) and microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer. Alterations were classified using a computational score for integrative cancer variant annotation and prioritization.
