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

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1-specific protein vpu is required for efficient virus maturation and release.
TL;DR: Indirect immunofluorescence analyses of cultures inoculated with wild-type virus with use of a vpu-specific antiserum demonstrated that vpu is mainly localized to a perinuclear region in the cytoplasm of virus-producing cells.

KAR3, a kinesin-related gene required for yeast nuclear fusion
Pamela B. Meluh,Mark D. Rose +1 more
TL;DR: The phenotypes of kar3 mutants suggest that the protein mediates microtubule sliding during nuclear fusion and possibly mitosis and a larger family of kinesin-like proteins characterized by the presence of the mechanochemical domain tethered to different protein binding domains.

Nanopores and nucleic acids: prospects for ultrarapid sequencing
David W. Deamer,Mark Akeson +1 more
TL;DR: Nanopore detection and characterization of single molecules represents a new method for directly reading information encoded in linear polymers and it is possible that nucleic acid sequences can be determined at rates exceeding a thousand bases per second.

TL;DR: Southern blot analysis indicates that a single gene in the haploid genome encodes both protein forms, and the inferred amino-acid sequence reveals the presence of a signal peptide, a long tandem repeat that matches the actin-binding domains of gelsolin, a tetrapeptide present in actin and extended regions of identical sequence with rabbit macrophages.

TL;DR: Examination of the DNA and presumed amino acid sequence shows that the gene is most closely related to that of Anabaena spp.

Nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage G4 DNA.
TL;DR: The sequence identifies many of the features responsible for the production of the proteins of the nine known genes of the organism, including initiation and termination sites for the proteins and RNAs.
