REBASE—a database for DNA restriction and modification: enzymes, genes and genomes

TLDR
REBASE is a comprehensive and fully curated database of information about the components of restriction-modification (RM) systems that contains fully referenced information about recognition and cleavage sites for both restriction enzymes and methyltransferases as well as commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal and sequence data.
Abstract
REBASE is a comprehensive and fully curated database of information about the components of restriction-modification (RM) systems. It contains fully referenced information about recognition and cleavage sites for both restriction enzymes and methyltransferases as well as commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal and sequence data. All genomes that are completely sequenced are analyzed for RM system components, and with the advent of PacBio sequencing, the recognition sequences of DNA methyltransferases (MTases) are appearing rapidly. Thus, Type I and Type III systems can now be characterized in terms of recognition specificity merely by DNA sequencing. The contents of REBASE may be browsed from the web http://rebase.neb.com and selected compilations can be downloaded by FTP (ftp.neb.com). Monthly updates are also available via email.

PCR-RFLP Primer Design Using Particle Swarm Optimization Combined with Chaotic Logistic Map

TL;DR: A comparison of the results obtained from PSO and CLMPSO primer design showed that CLM provided better primer sets than PSO primerDesign, and this CLM method reliably produces designs for PCR-RFLP primers which best fit the common primer constraints and also identifies available restriction enzymes.

SLICER: Seamless Loss of Integrated Cassettes Using Endonuclease Cleavage and Recombination in Deinococcus radiodurans

TL;DR: This work used SLICER to sequentially target four putative restriction-modification (R-M) system genes, recycling the same selective and screening markers for each subsequent deletion, resulting in a final D. radiodurans strain with 5 of the 6 putative R-M systems deleted.

Expression and Purification of BsaXI Restriction Endonuclease and Engineering New Specificity from BsaXI Specificity (S) Subunit

TL;DR: This work demonstrated that like Type I restriction systems, the S subunit of a Type IIB system could also be manipulated to create new specificities.

The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt)

TL;DR: During 2004, tens of thousands of Knowledgebase records got manually annotated or updated; the UniProt keyword list got augmented by additional keywords; the documentation of the keywords and are continuously overhauling and standardizing the annotation of post-translational modifications.
