Dissecting the function of the adult β-globin downstream promoter region using an artificial zinc finger DNA-binding domain.

abstract：:Bacterial small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are the most abundant class of post-transcriptional regulators and have been well studied in Gram-negative bacteria. Little is known about the functions and mechanisms of sRNAs in high GC Gram-positive bacteria including Mycobacterium and Streptomyces. Here, we performed an in-d...

abstract：:In vitro selection of RNA-cleaving DNAzymes is a powerful method for isolating metal-specific DNA. A few successful examples are known, but it is still difficult to target some thiophilic metals such as Cd(2+) due to limited functional groups in DNA.
