DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical secondary structures formed in guanine-rich sequences. Within the human genome, G4s are found in regulatory regions such as gene promoters and telomeres to control replication, transcription, and telomere le...
Motivation: Clustered DNA-lesions are predominantly induced by ionizing radiation, particularly by high-LET particles, and considered as lethal damage. Quantification of this specific type of damage as a function of radiation parameters such as LET,...
Genetic engineering has revolutionized our ability to modify microorganisms for various applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry. This review examines recent advances in genetic engineering techniques for bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes, wi...
DNA-based biosensors have emerged as cutting-edge tools with significant potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. These biosensors leverage the specificity and sensitivity of DNA interactions to detect a wide range...
Both the number of cells and the collective genome of the gut microbiota outnumber their mammalian hosts, and the metabolic and physiological interactions of the gut microbiota with the host have not yet been fully characterized. Cancer remains one o...
Oxidative stress-mediated biomolecular damage is a characteristic feature of ionizing radiation (IR) injury, leading to genomic instability and chronic health implications. Specifically, a dose- and linear energy transfer (LET)-dependent persistent i...
Preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) was one of the first applications of PGT, with initial cases being worked up in the Delhanty lab. It is the least well-known of the various forms of PGT but nonetheless provides e...
Nucleic acid methylations are important genetic and epigenetic biomarkers. The formation and removal of these markers is related to either methylation or demethylation. In this review, we focus on the demethylation or oxidative modification that is m...
In preimplantation testing for monogenic disease (PGT-M), we are used to specific and directed diagnoses. Preimplantation testing for polygenic disease (PGT-P), however, represents a further level of complexity in that multiple genes are tested for w...
The PowerPlex Fusion 6C PCR™ amplification kit provides a strong discriminatory power for human identification. We have validated the kit with a reduced volume (12.5 µL) and as part of the validation we compared the efficiency of the poly...
