Random-breakage mapping method applied to human DNA sequences.
The random-breakage mapping method [Game et al. (1990) Nucleic Acids Res., 18, 4453-4461] was applied to DNA sequences in human fibroblasts. The methodology involves NotI restriction endonuclease digestion of DNA from irradiated calls, followed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting and hybridization with DNA probes recognizing the single copy sequences of interest. The Southern...
متن کاملLévy scaling: the diffusion entropy analysis applied to DNA sequences.
We address the problem of the statistical analysis of a time series generated by complex dynamics with the diffusion entropy analysis (DEA) [N. Scafetta, P. Hamilton, and P. Grigolini, Fractals 9, 193 (2001)]. This method is based on the evaluation of the Shannon entropy of the diffusion process generated by the time series imagined as a physical source of fluctuations, rather than on the measu...
متن کاملA graph-based clustering method applied to protein sequences
The number of amino acid sequences is increasing very rapidly in the protein databases like Swiss-Prot, Uniprot, PIR and others, but the structure of only some amino acid sequences are found in the Protein Data Bank. Thus, an important problem in genomics is automatically clustering homologous protein sequences when only sequence information is available. Here, we use graph theoretic techniques...
متن کاملThe Fragile Breakage versus Random Breakage Models of Chromosome Evolution
For many years, studies of chromosome evolution were dominated by the random breakage theory, which implies that there are no rearrangement hot spots in the human genome. In 2003, Pevzner and Tesler argued against the random breakage model and proposed an alternative "fragile breakage" model of chromosome evolution. In 2004, Sankoff and Trinh argued against the fragile breakage model and raised...
متن کاملUnrepaired clustered DNA lesions induce chromosome breakage in human cells.
Clustered DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation is refractory to repair and may trigger carcinogenic events for reasons that are not well understood. Here, we used an in situ method to directly monitor induction and repair of clustered DNA lesions in individual cells. We showed, consistent with biophysical modeling, that the kinetics of loss of clustered DNA lesions was substantially comprom...
