Book ChapterDOI
Elution of DNA from agarose gels after electrophoresis.
TL;DR: The chapter describes three new or revised methods for the recovery of DNA from agarose gels, based on the simplicity, speed, yield, and amenability of the purified DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
BK virus DNA: complete nucleotide sequence of a human tumor virus
Robert C. A. Yang,Ray Wu +1 more
TL;DR: The sequence of the deduced proteins in BK virus shares 73 percent amino acid homology with those in SV40, whereas the DNA sequence ofthe two viruses shares 70 percent homology, suggesting close evolutionary relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Improved strategy for rapid direct sequencing of both strands of long DNA molecules cloned in a plasmid
TL;DR: A strategy for kilo-base sequencing of a target DNA cloned in plasmid pWR34, where both strands of any DNA several thousand base pairs in length can be completely sequenced with ease within a short time, without the need for constructing a physical map.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study of papovavirus DNA: BKV(MM), BKV(WT) and SV40
Robert C. A. Yang,Ray Wu +1 more
TL;DR: There is also extensive homology between the regions which code for proteins in BKV and SV40, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
BK virus DNA sequence: extent of homology with simian virus 40 DNA.
Robert C. A. Yang,Ray Wu +1 more
TL;DR: The primary nucleotide sequence of three regions of BK virus (BKV) variant (MM) DNA has been determined and shows a high degree of homology at variance with the reported homology values of 11--20% estimated by hybridization measurements of heteroduplex analyses.
