Quantification of DNA patchiness using long-range correlation measures.
We introduce and develop new techniques to quantify DNA patchiness, and to quantify characteristics of its mosaic structure. These techniques, which involve calculating two functions, alpha(l) and beta(l), measure correlations at length scale l and detect distinct characteristic patch sizes embedded in scale-invariant patch size distributions. Using these new methods, we address a number of iss...
متن کاملProtocol for high-sensitivity/long linear-range spectrofluorimetric DNA quantification using ethidium bromide.
Ethidium bromide (EtBr) is the most widely used fluorescent dye in nucleic acid gel electrophoresis since decades. However it has been essentially forgotten in DNA quantification by spectrofluorimetry. While investigating sensitivity and dynamic range of available fluorochromes, we found that EtBr permits much more sensitive fluorimetric measurements than previously thought. We report here a re...
متن کاملCross-correlation of long-range correlated series
A method for estimating the cross-correlation Cxy(τ) of long-range correlated series x(t) and y(t), at varying lags τ and scales n, is proposed. For fractional Brownian motions with Hurst exponents H1 and H2, the asymptotic expression of Cxy(τ) depends only on the lag τ (wide-sense stationarity) and scales as a power of n with exponent H1 +H2 for τ → 0. The method is illustrated on (i) financia...
متن کاملLong-range DNA charge transport.
The stack of base pairs within double helical DNA has been shown to mediate charge transport reactions. Charge transport through DNA can result in chemistry at a distance, yielding oxidative DNA damage at a site remote from the bound oxidant. Since DNA charge transport chemistry depends on coupling within the stacked base pair array, this chemistry is remarkably sensitive to sequence-dependent ...
متن کاملDirect demonstration and quantification of long-range DNA looping by the λ bacteriophage repressor
Recently, it was proposed that DNA looping by the lambda repressor (CI protein) strengthens repression of lytic genes during lysogeny and simultaneously ensures efficient switching to lysis. To investigate this hypothesis, tethered particle motion experiments were performed and dynamic CI-mediated looping of single DNA molecules containing the lambda repressor binding sites separated by 2317 bp...
