  • The process of switch recombination is activated and targeted by the transcription of switch (S) regions, guanine-rich, 2-10 kilobase stretches of DNA located just upstream of those constant regions that participate in switch recombination (Figure 1 ). (biomedcentral.com)
  • We demonstrate use of the program with data from the brine fly Ephydra packardi (Diptera: Ephydridae) and provide empirical timing benchmarks to illustrate program performance on a common desktop computer environment. (usgs.gov)

  • As the cell performs its DNA repair procedures, CRISPR instructs it to use a different sequence instead of the original one, thereby editing the genome. (newatlas.com)
  • Cutting DNA could cause some unintended side effects , and concerns have been raised that CRISPR can make edits in the wrong section of the genome. (newatlas.com)

  • Such DNA origami structures are information-bearing nanostructures by nature with well-defined nanoscale geometry. (phys.org)
  • For instance, Brownian motion at the nanoscale can be controllably converted into directed movements within DNA-based nanomachines using DNA hybridization reactions. (phys.org)
  • Sanger sequencing is appropriate for analyzing fewer sites and fewer samples. (pristol.net)
  • We identified 78 (1.3%) samples with non-canonical haplotypes, which in 62 cases were paired with a canonical haplotype. (bmj.com)
  • Also, additional sequence information available for one of these samples showed a heterozygous SNP near exon 17, placing a 3′ limit on the size of the putative deletion. (bmj.com)
  • However, the DNA from these samples was not available. (bmj.com)
  • No significant difference in Shannon diversity for V1V3 (p = 0.22) and V3V5 (p = 0.11) sequences among paired samples was seen. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The DNA and RNA samples were sequenced. (citrusrdf.org)
  • Gradient and random S/pBrS copolymers made by RAFT showed similar Kerr constants, while those made by FRP and ATRP had Kerr effects different by a factor of two or more and were similar to those shown by samples with resultant blocky and random comonomer sequences made previously by BR of a-PS in poor and good solvents, respectively. (ncsu.edu)
  • To ensure that all possible microstructures, such as diad stereosequences in vinyl homopolymers and monomer sequences in copolymers, including their locations along polymer chains, that is, all macrostructures, are represented, it became necessary to generate samples with huge quantities (many many tons) of constituent polymer chains. (ncsu.edu)
  • this recommendation does not preclude the preparation of DNA samples for subsequent archiving if the material is considered potentially useful for future studies. (who.int)
  • Slopes of plots outside the drug binding sites can be used to identify locations of altered DNA structure. (syr.edu)
  • In this approach, unphased SNP genotypes are compared to pairs of canonical haplotypes to identify potentially hemizygous regions. (bmj.com)

  • And all of us who teach colloid and interface science find it natural to illustrate the usefulness of our subject with examples from everyday formulations that we may find in a kitchen, a bathroom or a garage. (lu.se)
  • We figured that retrons should give us the ability to produce ssDNA within the cells we want to edit rather than trying to force them into the cell from the outside, and without damaging the native DNA, which were both very compelling qualities," says Daniel Goodman, co-first author of the study.
