An update on targeted gene repair in mammalian cells: methods and mechanisms
Transfer of full-length genes including regulatory elements has been the preferred gene therapy strategy for clinical applications. However, with significant drawbacks emerging, targeted gene alteration (TGA) has recently become a promising alternative ...

Identifying the impact of G-quadruplexes on Affymetrix 3' arrays using cloud computing. [PDF]
A tetramer quadruplex structure is formed by four parallel strands of DNA/ RNA containing runs of guanine. These quadruplexes are able to form because guanine can Hoogsteen hydrogen bond to other guanines, and a tetrad of guanines can form a stable ...

Reversible DNA micro-patterning using the fluorous effect [PDF]
We describe a new method for the immobilisation of DNA into defined patterns with sub-micron resolution, using the fluorous effect. The method is fully reversible via a simple solvent wash, allowing the patterning, regeneration and re-patterning of ...

Sequence requirements for oligodeoxyribonucleotide inhibitory activity [PDF]
Inhibitory oligonucleotides (IN-ODN) differing from stimulatory CpG ODN (ST-ODN) by as few as two bases can block ST-ODN-induced proliferation, apoptosis protection and IL-6 secretion in B lymphocytes and the production of IL-12p40 by non-B cells. The main objective of this study was to determine the ODN sequence requirements for inhibition in mice ...

Two-dimensional protein crystallization via metal-ion coordination by naturally occurring surface histidines [PDF]
A powerful and potentially general approach to the targeting and crystallization of proteins on lipid interfaces through coordination of surface histidine residues to lipid-chelated divalent metal ions is presented.

New findings on the d(TGGGAG) sequence: Surprising anti-HIV-1 activity [PDF]
The biological relevance of tetramolecular G-quadruplexes especially as anti-HIV agents has been extensively reported in the literature over the last years. In the light of our recent results regarding the slow G-quadruplex folding kinetics of ODNs based

Vortex fluidics-mediated DNA rescue from formalin-fixed museum specimens. [PDF]
DNA from formalin-preserved tissue could unlock a vast repository of genetic information stored in museums worldwide. However, formaldehyde crosslinks proteins and DNA, and prevents ready amplification and DNA sequencing.

Immobilization of oligodeoxyribonucleotides with multiple anchors to microchips [PDF]
Facile modification of oligodeoxyribonucleotides is required for efficient immobilization to a pre-activated glass surface. This report presents an oligodeoxyribonucleotide which contains a hairpin stem-loop structure with multiple phosphorothioate moieties in the loop.
