Haematological cancers like leukemia and lymphoma are characterized by genetic abnormalities, specifically chromosomal translocations. Analyses of the translocation breakpoint regions in patients have shown that some loci ...

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is widely used for recombinant protein production due to its ability to grow to high cell densities as well as possession of an inducible methanol utilization pathway (MUT). The ...

Introduction Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved pathway involved in repair of a wide variety of structurally unrelated DNA lesions. One of the well characterized NER systems is from E. coli which ...

Recombination Activating Genes (RAGs) orchestrate the process called V (D) J recombination, which enables the vertebrate adaptive immune system to specifically recognize millions of antigens. During this recombination ...

Homologous recombination (HR) is a highly conserved cellular process involved in the maintenance of chromosomal integrity and generation of genetic diversity. Biochemical and genetic studies have suggested that HR is ...

Helicobacter pylori is one of the most potential and successful human pathogen which colonizes atleast 50% of world population. One of the important characteristics of this pathogen is the degree of allelic diversity and ...

DNA mismatch repair ensures faithful transmission of genetic material from parents to progeny, which is required for the survival of the organism. The studies on E. coli MMR proteins have formed the basis for the study ...
