This paper presents a microfabricated DNA chip for fully electronic, label-free DNA recognition, based on capacitance measurements. The chip has been fabricated in 0.5-mu m CMOS technology and it features an array of individually addressable sensing sites ...
BACKGROUND: APOBEC3G (apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like 3G) has antiretroviral activity associated with the hypermutation of viral DNA through cytosine deamination. APOBEC3G has two cytosine deaminase (CDA) domains; the catal ...
A method is described to discover if a gene carries one or more allelic mutations that confer risk for any specified common disease. The method does not depend upon genetic linkage of risk-conferring mutations to high frequency genetic markers such as sing ...
One of the most important advances in biology in recent years may be the discovery of RNAs that can regulate gene expression. As one kind of such functional noncoding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) forma class of endogenous 19–23-nucleotide RNAs that can have im ...
NOVELTY - The micro-array device has several micro-locations (3) associated with a preset DNA sequence. Several micro-sensors are positioned corresponding to the micro-locations. The micro-sensors output electrical signals indicating the absorption of ultr ...

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a powerful technique that is now commonly used in many research and clinical laboratories. Although it allows precise quantification of specific DNA sequences, it is often not used at its full potential. A number of data collecti ...
We investigated the condensation of calf thymus DNA by amphiphilic polystyrenem-b-poly(l-lysine)n block copolymers ( PS m -b- PLys n , m, n = degree of polymerization), using small-angle X-ray scattering, polarized optical microscopy and laser scanning con ...
Electrophorescing blopolymers across nanopores modulates the ionic current through the pore, revealing the polymer's diameter, length, and conformation. The rapidity of polymer translocation (similar to 30 000 bp/ms) in this geometry greatly limits the inf ...
Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells are involved in crucial processes during tumor development. A subset of monocytes that express the angiopoietin receptor Tie2 play an important role in tumor angiogenesis. Selective depletion of these Tie2-expressing monocy ...
Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) infection incites cells to arrest with 4N DNA content or die if the p53 pathway is defective. This arrest depends on AAV2 DNA, which is single stranded with inverted terminal repeats that serve as primers during viral D ...
