The DNA and RNA helicase UPF1 is well known for its central role in Nonsense Mediated RNA Decay (NMD), which promotes degradation of mRNAs containing premature stop codons. However, we have recently demonstrated that human UPF1 is also essential for DNA re ...
The response of total (DNA-based analysis) and active (RNA-based analysis) bacterial communities to a pCO2 increase under field conditions was assessed using two perennial grasses: the nitrophilic Lolium perenne and the oligonitrophilic Molinia coerulea. P ...
The tricarboxylate reagent benzene-1,3,5-triacetic acid (BTA) was used to attach 5'-aminated DNA primers and templates on an aminosilanized glass surface for subsequent generation of DNA colonies by in situ solid-phase amplification. We have characterized ...
The different steps associated with the curing of a PVAc/polyester blend are identified and correlated to the mechanism of shrinkage control in the presence of a low-profile additive (LPA). Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) is used as a LPA and is shown to induce ...
New approaches to increase the efficiency of non-viral gene delivery are still required. Here we report a simple approach that enhances gene delivery using permanent and pulsating magnetic fields. DNA plasmids and novel DNA fragments (PCR products) contain ...
• Goal The goal of the project was to produce biomolecular fingerprints in order to describe the structure of microbial community which develops during aerobic sludge granulation, initiated in sequencing batch wastewater treatment processes. Four SBR were ...
In this letter, we show the results achieved using a hydrogenated amorphous silicon photosensor for a "label-free" deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis based on the measurements of the absorbance in the ultraviolet range. The optimization of the sensor str ...
An 8 times 16 array of sensing micro-sites employs a fully-electrical label-free technique for DNA recognition using capacitance measurement and is fabricated in 0.5mum CMOS with added noble metal. Repeatability and parallel detection capability have been ...
Protein-DNA interactions (PDIs) between transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes form the backbone of transcription regulatory networks. Such PDIs can be identified with either a TF or a gene as a starting point. The Gateway-compatible yeast one- ...
This paper presents the experimental characterization of two-terminal microfabricated capacitors for microarrays with an electrical sensing of label-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). So far, such a concept has been demonstrated only in experimental setups ...
