DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TLDR
A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.Abstract:
A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described. It is similar to the “plus and minus” method [Sanger, F. & Coulson, A. R. (1975) J. Mol. Biol. 94, 441-448] but makes use of the 2′,3′-dideoxy and arabinonucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase. The technique has been applied to the DNA of bacteriophage ϕX174 and is more rapid and more accurate than either the plus or the minus method.read more

Primary structure of prostaglandin G/H synthase from sheep vesicular gland determined from the complementary DNA sequence.

TL;DR: The availability of a full-length cDNA clone coding for prostaglandin G/H synthase should facilitate studies of the regulation of expression of this enzyme and the structural features important for catalysis and for interaction with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Analyzing and comparing nucleic acid sequences by hybridization to arrays of oligonucleotides: evaluation using experimental models.
TL;DR: This work shows that the tethered oligonucleotides method has a number of potential advantages over gel-based methods: it should be easy to automate; the quality of the sequence results can be evaluated statistically; it provides a powerful way of comparing related sequences and detecting mutation.

TL;DR: In situ hybridization analysis revealed that LC132 mRNA is highly expressed in several rat brain areas, including the cerebral cortex, thalamus, subfornical organ, habenula, hypothalamus, central gray, dorsal raphe, locus coeruleus and the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.

Analysis of a Complete Library of Putative Drug Transporter Genes in Escherichia coli
TL;DR: Twenty open reading frames (ORFs) cloned in E. coli exhibited increased resistance to some of the 26 representative antimicrobial agents and chemical compounds tested in this study and gave broader resistance spectra than previously reported.

Biochemical and molecular characterization of three barley seed proteins with antifungal properties.
TL;DR: Three proteins from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds which synergistically inhibit the growth of fungi measured in a microtiter well assay are purified and their biological roles and potential use in genetic engineering studies are discussed.
