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

Regulation of rat growth hormone receptor gene expression.
TL;DR: A cDNA encoding the growth hormone (GH) receptor was cloned from rat liver and expression in liver, kidney, heart and muscle was developmentally regulated, being low at birth and rising to adult levels in 5 weeks.

Cocirculation of two distinct evolutionary lineages of influenza type B virus since 1983.
TL;DR: This article showed that B/Yamagata/16/88-like viruses were more closely related to epidemic viruses from 1983 (B/USSR/100/83) than to more recent reference strains such as B/Victoria/2/87.
