Regulating Gene Expression Through DNA Mechanics: Tightly Looped DNA Represses Transcription.
(2010)
It is now widely accepted that the mechanical state of DNA can play a major role in regulating the activity of RNA polymerase (RNAP). Not only have the global levels of supercoiling been shown to regulate transcription, ...
Engineering the Quantitative PCR Assay for Decreased Cost and Complexity.
(2011)
The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is an assay of target nucleic acid concentration. Clinical applications of quantitative PCR include measurement of HIV viral load, measurement of bacterial infection, and ...
