It is notoriously difficult to observe, let alone control, the position and orientation of
molecules due to their small size and the constant thermal fluctuations that they experience …

The pseudo oligonucleotide composition, or pseudo K-tuple nucleotide composition
(PseKNC), can be used to represent a DNA or RNA sequence with a discrete model or …

The ability of proteins to locate specific sites or structures among a vast excess of
nonspecific DNA is a fundamental theme in biology. Yet the basic principles that govern …

The functional centromeres of rice (Oryza sativa, AA genome) chromosomes contain two key
DNA components: the CRR centromeric retrotransposons and a 155-bp satellite repeat …

Background The full catalog of satellite DNA (satDNA) within a same genome constitutes the
satellitome. The Library Hypothesis predicts that satDNA in relative species reflects that in …

Abstract The Slee** Beauty (SB) transposon system is a popular tool for genome
engineering, but random integration into the genome carries a certain genotoxic risk in …

ATP-dependent nucleosome remodelers influence genetic processes by altering
nucleosome occupancy, positioning, and composition. In vitro, Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

It is well known that remnants of partial or whole copies of mitochondrial DNA, known as
Nuclear MiTochondrial sequences (NUMTs), are found in nuclear genomes. Since whole …

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in
the developed world. The major factors associated with virulence of UPEC are fimbrial …

Many biological processes involve one-dimensional diffusion over a correlated
inhomogeneous energy landscape with a correlation length ξ c. Typical examples are …
