Sequence-Specific Sensing of Nucleic Acids [PDF]
Innate immune cells are endowed with many nucleic acid receptors, but the role of sequence in the detection of foreign organisms remains unclear. Can sequence patterns influence recognition? In addition, how can we infer those patterns from sequence data?

Non-Viral Targeted Nucleic Acid Delivery: Apply Sequences for Optimization
In nature, genomes have been optimized by the evolution of their nucleic acid sequences. The design of peptide-like carriers as synthetic sequences provides a strategy for optimizing multifunctional targeted nucleic acid delivery in an iterative process.

Analysis of Nucleotide Sequences Similarity and Protein Prediction of Some Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli Isolated from Iraqi Patients with Urinary Tract Infections [PDF]
Antibiotic resistance leads to a dramatic increase in the morbidity and mortality caused by infectious diseases. Even though estimates vary widely, the economic cost of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is on a rise.

Impact of Nucleic Acid Sequencing on Viroid Biology [PDF]
The early 1970s marked two breakthroughs in the field of biology: (i) The development of nucleotide sequencing technology; and, (ii) the discovery of the viroids. The first DNA sequences were obtained by two-dimensional chromatography which was later replaced by sequencing using electrophoresis technique.
