The specific recognition of DNA binding sites by transcription factors (TFs) is key for the regulation of gene expression. However, most of TFs target short DNA sites and higher specificity is normally achieved by the ...

Bartonella bacilliformis is the biological agent of Carrion's disease, a vector-borne, life-threatening human bartonellosis restricted to South America. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of B. bacilliformis KC584 ...

Human DNA quantification, DNA degradation assessment and gender determination are key aspects in most field of human DNA analysis. The assay reported here is a tri-plex Real Time quantitative PCR reaction followed by high ...

DNA staining methods are very important for biomedical research. We designed a simple method that allows DNA visualization to the naked eye by the formation of a colored precipitate. It works by soaking the acrylamide or ...

Mass disasters represent a challenging forensic task when victims need to be identified. A wide variety of multiple scenarios force a systematic classification of disasters. The retrieval of human remains, leading to the ...

The mitochondrial replicative DNA helicase is essential for animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance. Deleterious mutations in the gene that encodes it cause mitochondrial dysfunction manifested in developmental delays, ...

We studied the reactivity of peroxynitrite and different nucleic acid molecules using DNA electrochemical biosensors. SIN-1 (3-morpholinosydnonimine) has been used for the simultaneous generation of NO- and superoxide, ...
