For many years it has been known that thymine auxotrophic microorganisms undergo cell death in response to thymine starvation [thymineless death (TLD)]. This effect is unusual in that deprivation of many other nutritional requirements has a biostatic, but not lethal

The human GnRH receptor (GNRHR1) has a specific set of properties with physiological and pharmacological influences not appropriately modeled in laboratory animals or cell-based systems. To address this deficiency, we have generated human GNRHR1 knock-in mice and described their reproductive

Transcription activator-like effectors contain a DNA-binding domain organized in tandem repeats. The repeats include two adjacent residues known as the repeat variable di-residue, which recognize a single base pair, establishing a direct code between the dipeptides and the target DNA.

We report the design and synthesis of triazolyl donor/acceptor unnatural nucleosides via click chemistry and studies on the duplex stabilization of DNA containing two such new nucleosides. The observed duplex stabilization among the self-pair/heteropair has been found to be comparable

More than 50% of colon cancer-associated mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene are C-->T transitions. The majority of them locate in CpG dinucleotides and are thought to have arisen through spontaneous hydrolytic deamination of 5-methylcytosine. This deamination process gives
