The current state of biosensor-based techniques for amplification-free microRNA (miRNA)
detection is critically reviewed. Comparison with non-sensor and amplification-based …

We present a critical review of recent work related to the assembly of multicompartment
liposome clusters using nucleic acids as a specific recognition unit to link liposomal …

The interaction of DNA with proteins occurs over a wide range of length scales, and
depends critically on its local structure. In particular, recent experimental work suggests that …

The rapid worldwide spread of severe viral infections, often involving novel mutations of
viruses, poses major challenges to our health-care systems. This means that tools that can …

Transcript elongation by bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) is thought to be regulated at
pause sites by open versus closed positions of the RNAP clamp domain, pause-suppressing …

Passerine birds compose over half of avian species diversity and exhibit an impressive array
of phenotypic variation of interest to evolutionary biologists. Although this group has long …

The denaturation of the double helix is a template for fundamental biological functions such
as replication and transcription involving the formation of local fluctuational openings. The …

In this work we study the effects of the solvent interaction on the nonlinear dynamical
structure of a DNA segment, by using a time-independent perturbation approach …

DNA-functionalized particles have great potential for the design of complex self-assembled
materials. The major hurdle in realizing crystal structures from DNA-functionalized particles …

The authors report the unusual thermal stability of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) origami
when adhered to a solid substrate. Even when heated to 150 C for 45 min, these DNA …
