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

Polymerase Chain Reaction Amplification of a Repetitive DNA Sequence Specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
TL;DR: A segment of DNA repeated in the chromosome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was sequenced and used as a target for amplification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and may provide the basis for an assay to detect M. tuberculosis directly in clinical material.

Potential Role of Phospholipases in Virulence and Fungal Pathogenesis
TL;DR: Data indicate that phospholipase B is essential for candidal virulence, and early data suggest that direct host cell damage and lysis are the main mechanisms contributing to fungal virulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
The trkB tyrosine protein kinase gene codes for a second neurogenic receptor that lacks the catalytic kinase domain.
TL;DR: It is reported that the mouse trkB locus codes for at least two classes of receptor-like molecules, and it is illustrated that a tyrosine protein kinase locus can code for two structurally and functionally distinct cellular receptors.

Cloning and functional expression in bacteria of a novel glucose transporter present in liver, intestine, kidney, and β-pancreatic islet cells
TL;DR: Insulinoma cells express, inappropriately, the erythrocyte glucose transporter, and it is suggested that this may be related to their inability to secrete insulin in response to elevations in glucose.

TL;DR: The primary structure of murine c‐kit is determined from a DNA clone isolated from a brain cDNA library and it contains the features which are characteristic of a transmembrane receptor kinase.

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.
