Exonucleases remove these unpaired nucleotides and the gaps are filled by DNA synthesis and repair machinery. [1] [3] Exonucleases may also cause shortening of this junction, however this process is still poorly understood. [4] Junctional diversity is liable to cause frame-shift mutations and thus production of non-functional proteins ...
DNA rearrangement causes one copy of each type of gene segment to go in any given lymphocyte, generating an enormous antibody repertoire; roughly 3×10 11 combinations are possible, although some are removed due to self reactivity. Most T cell receptors are composed of a variable alpha chain and a beta chain. The T cell receptor genes are ...
Microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ), also known as alternative nonhomologous end-joining (Alt-NHEJ) is one of the pathways for repairing double-strand breaks in DNA. As reviewed by McVey and Lee, [1] the foremost distinguishing property of MMEJ is the use of microhomologous sequences during the alignment of broken ends before joining, thereby resulting in deletions flanking the original ...
LiVES (LiVES Editing System) / ˈ l aɪ v z / is a free and open-source video editing software and VJ tool, released under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. [2]There are binary versions available for most popular Linux distributions (including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo, Slackware, Arch Linux, Mandriva and Mageia).
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is present in the circulating plasma and in other body fluids. [13] The release of cfDNA into the bloodstream appears by different reasons, including apoptosis, necrosis and NETosis. Its rapidly increased accumulation in blood during tumor development is caused by an excessive DNA release by apoptotic cells and necrotic ...
The extreme length (a chromosome may contain a 10 cm long DNA strand), relative rigidity and helical structure of DNA has led to the evolution of histones and of enzymes such as topoisomerases and helicases to manage a cell's DNA. The properties of DNA are closely related to its molecular structure and sequence, particularly the weakness of the ...
Single-cell DNA genome sequencing involves isolating a single cell, amplifying the whole genome or region of interest, constructing sequencing libraries, and then applying next-generation DNA sequencing (for example Illumina, Ion Torrent). Single-cell DNA sequencing has been widely applied in mammalian systems to study normal physiology and ...
Most cellular deconvolution algorithms consider an input data in a form of a matrix , which represents some molecular information (e.g. gene expression data or DNA methylation data) measured over a group of samples and marks (e.g. genes or CpG sites).
