The 24th annual Nucleic Acids Research database issue: a look back and upcoming changes.

abstract：:Module identification is a frequently used approach for mining local structures with more significance in global networks. Recently, a wide variety of bilayer networks are emerging to characterize the more complex biological processes. In the light of special topological properties of bilayer networks and the accompan...

abstract：:DNA polymerase beta (polbeta), a member of the X family of DNA polymerases, is the major polymerase in the base excision repair pathway. Using in vitro selection, we obtained RNA aptamers for polbeta from a variable pool of 8 x 10(12) individual RNA sequences containing 30 random nucleotides. A total of 60 individual ...

abstract：:Nam8, a component of yeast U1 snRNP, is optional for mitotic growth but required during meiosis, because Nam8 collaborates with Mer1 to promote splicing of essential meiotic mRNAs AMA1, MER2 and MER3. Here, we identify SPO22 and PCH2 as novel targets of Nam8-dependent meiotic splicing. Whereas SPO22 splicing is co-dep...
