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

Structure of the human immunoglobulin mu locus: characterization of embryonic and rearranged J and D genes.
TL;DR: The variable portion of an immunoglobulin heavy chain gene is assembled from at least three discontinuous segments of DNA, the V, D and J regions, and the large number of human J region genes and, hence, their greater potential for generating diversity as compared to the that of the mouse J regions appears to result from recent genetic duplications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a molecular analysis to identify oncogenic mutations (HRAS, KRAS, NRAS, CDKN2A, and TP53) in the lesions from patients treated with the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib.

TL;DR: Prevention and reversal of autoimmune disease with V beta 8-specific monoclonal antibodies was achieved in EAE because of a striking similarity in fine specificity of T cell receptors.

TL;DR: A complementary DNA encoding an ATP-regulated potassium channel has been isolated by expression cloning from rat kidney and the presence of an H5 region, which is likely to form the ion conduction pathway, indicates that the protein may share a common origin with voltage-gated potassium channel proteins.
