Abstract. In T4 bacteriophage, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is incorporated into DNA during replication. In response, bacteria may have developed modific
A nomenclature is described for restriction endonucleases, DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases and related genes and gene products. It provides explicit categories for the many different Type II enzymes now identified and provides…
The picture shows a preparation of the eye of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The eye is imaged from the inside and fluorescently labeled for the light sensitive rhabdomeres using Phalloidin.
