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.

Cloning the chromosomal breakpoint of t(14;18) human lymphomas: clustering around Jh on chromosome 14 and near a transcriptional unit on 18

TL;DR: The t(14;18)(q32;q21) chromosomal translocation present in over 60% of human follicular lymphomas is characterized and an unexpected rearrangement of an Ig heavy-chain gene is exploited to clone the chromosomal breakpoint.

An osmosensing signal transduction pathway in yeast.

TL;DR: A signal transduction pathway that is activated by changes in the osmolarity of the extracellular environment is defined, including a rapid, PBS2-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of HOG1 protein.

The hematopoietic growth factor KL is encoded by the Sl locus and is the ligand of the c-kit receptor, the gene product of the W locus.

TL;DR: K, a hematopoietic growth factor obtained from conditioned medium of BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts that stimulates the proliferation of mast cells and early erythroid progenitors, specifically binds to the c-kit receptor.

Expression cloning of noggin, a new dorsalizing factor localized to the Spemann organizer in Xenopus embryos

TL;DR: The activity of exogenous noggin RNA in embryonic axis induction and the localized expression of endogenous noggan transcripts suggest that noggins plays a role in normal dorsal development.

A rapid method for determining sequences in DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase.

TL;DR: A simple and rapid method for determining nucleotide sequences in single-stranded DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase is described and was used to determine two sequences in bacteriophage φX174 DNA.

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.
