Epigenetics: What it is about? [PDF]
, 2014 Epigenetics has captured the attention of scientists in the past decades, yet its scope has been continuously changing. In this paper, we give an overview on how and why its definition has evolved and suggest several clarification on the concepts used in

Pyrimidine Dimers in the DNA of Paramecium aurelia
Biophysical Journal, 1968 The production and fate of thymine-containing pyrimidine dimers in Paramecium aurelia DNA was investigated in three experimental series: production of dimers by UV irradiation, fate of dimers in the dark, and "loss of photoreactivability of dimers." It is shown that cyclobutyl dimers are made by UV irradiation of Paramecium DNA in vivo, that because of

Site-Specific Methylation of Adenine in the Nuclear Genome of a Eucaryote, \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena thermophila\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 1986 DNA in the polyploid macronucleus of the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila contains the modified base N6-methyladenine. We identified two GATC sites which are methylated in most or all of the 45 copies of the macronuclear genome.
