Journal Article
Defects and DNA replication
TL;DR: A rate-equation formalism is introduced to study DNA replication kinetics in the presence of defects resulting from DNA damage and can explain an observed correlation between interorigin separation and rate of DNA replication.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Feedback traps and the generalized Landauer limit for erasing information
Momčilo Gavrilov,John Bechhoefer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the first direct measurement of nonequilibrium system entropy, showing it matches Shannon's expression, and they adopt the more generic name of feedback trap, which is used for the bulk of the experiments reported here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Note: Split PID control—Two sensors can be better than one
Leith Znaimer,John Bechhoefer +1 more
TL;DR: The consequences of using two probes-one near the heater, one near the sample-and assigning the integral term to the sample probe and the other terms to the heater probe are explored and the split-PID algorithm can outperform PID control loops based on one sensor.

Numerical modeling of inhomogeneous DNA replication kinetics
TL;DR: A calculation technique for modeling inhomogeneous DNA replication kinetics, where replication factors such as initiation rates or fork speeds can change with both position and time is presented.
