Abstract: NEBcutter, version 1.0, is a program available via a web server (http://tools.neb.com/NEBcutter) that will accept an input DNA sequence and produce a comprehensive report of the restriction enzymes that will cleave the sequence. It produces a variety of outputs including restriction enzyme maps, theoretical digests and links into the restriction enzyme database, REBASE (http://www.neb.com/rebase). Importantly, its table of recognition sites is updated daily from REBASE and it marks all sites that are potentially affected by DNA methylation (Dam, Dcm, etc.). Many options exist to choose the enzymes used for digestion, including all known specificities, subsets of those that are commercially available or sets of enzymes that produce compatible termini.

Dancing together and separate again: gymnosperms exhibit frequent changes of fundamental 5S and 35S rRNA gene (rDNA) organisation
Sònia Garcia,Aleš Kovařík +1 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships based on the comparison of 5S coding sequences suggest that the 5S genes independently inserted IGS at least three times in the course of gymnosperm evolution, indicating relatively relaxed selection pressures imposed on genomic organisation of rRNA genes in plants.
SNP-RFLPing: restriction enzyme mining for SNPs in genomes.
TL;DR: This web-based software provides the restriction enzyme for RFLP assays on a batch of SNPs and genes from the human, rat, and mouse genomes and greatly simplifies the procedure for providing the RFLp enzyme.

Tumor-Induced STAT3 Signaling in Myeloid Cells Impairs Dendritic Cell Generation by Decreasing PKCβII Abundance
Matthew R. Farren,Louise M. Carlson,Colleen S. Netherby,Inna Lindner,Pui-Kai Li,Dmitry I. Gabrilovich,Scott I. Abrams,Kelvin P. Lee +7 more
TL;DR: It is found in humans and mice that breast cancer cells substantially decreased the abundance of PKCβII in myeloid progenitor cells through a mechanism involving the enhanced activation of STAT3 signaling by soluble, tumor-derived factors (TDFs).

A high-throughput method for the detection of homoeologous gene deletions in hexaploid wheat
TL;DR: A TaqMan qPCR-based method that allows high-throughput detection of deletions in homoeologous copies of any gene of interest, provided that sufficient polymorphism (as little as a single nucleotide difference) amongst homoeologistues exists for specific probe design is developed.

Primer-directed enzymatic amplification of DNA with a thermostable DNA polymerase
Randall Keichi Saiki,David H. Gelfand,Susanne Stoffel,Stephen J. Scharf,Russell Higuchi,Glenn Thomas Horn,Kary B. Mullis,Henry A. Erlich +7 more
TL;DR: A thermostable DNA polymerase was used in an in vitro DNA amplification procedure, the polymerase chain reaction, which significantly improves the specificity, yield, sensitivity, and length of products that can be amplified.

Structure and function of type II restriction endonucleases
Alfred Pingoud,Albert Jeltsch +1 more
TL;DR: Type II restriction endonucleases recognize short, usually palindromic, sequences of 4-8 bp and, in the presence of Mg(2+), cleave the DNA within or in close proximity to the recognition sequence.

TL;DR: A table of known site-specific DNA modification methyltransferases and their specificities is presented along with EMBL database accession numbers for cloned genes.
