Eukaryotic transcription is tightly regulated by transcriptional regulatory elements, even though these elements may be located far away from their target genes. It is now widely recognized that these regulatory elements can be brought in close proximity t ...
Telomere are the protective terminal structures of linear chromosomes. The repetitive TTAGGG sequences are bound by the dedicated shelterin complex, as well as by histones carrying modifications characteristic of silent chromatin. Like the centromeric hete ...
Chromatin structure and its impact on transcriptional activity represent one of the major revolutions in the biomedical field over the passed decade. The implications concern as much fundamental as clinically-oriented research; diseases and therapeutical s ...
Homing endonucleases, also known as meganucleases, are sequence-specific enzymes with large DNA recognition sites. These enzymes can be used to induce efficient homologous gene targeting in cells and plants, opening perspectives for genome engineering with ...
In this work we present the first results on a 'label-free' DNA analysis system based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film sensors. The detection mechanism is based on absorbance measurements performed on DNA molecules in a buffer solution. ...
Background: Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs) are man-made restriction enzymes useful for manipulating genomes by cleaving target DNA sequences. ZFNs allow therapeutic gene correction or creation of genetically modified model organisms. ZFN specificity is not a ...
Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments followed by ultra-high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is becoming the method of choice to identify transcription factor binding sites in prokaryotes and eukaryotes in vivo. Here, we review the computational steps ...
In the past, microinjection of plasmid DNA into early embryos represented the state of the art to generate transgenic zebrafish. However, this approach suffers significant drawbacks (mosaic distribution of the injected transgene, late transgene integration ...
Free extracellular DNA is abundant in many aquatic environments. While much of this DNA will be degraded by nucleases secreted by the surrounding microbial community, some is available as transforming material that can be taken up by naturally competent ba ...
Epigenetic mechanisms silence the HM mating-type loci in budding yeast. These loci are tightly linked to telomeres, which are also repressed and held together in clusters at the nuclear periphery, much like mammalian heterochromatin. Yeast telomere anchori ...
