Mammalian nucleotide excision repair (NER), known for its broad substrate specificity, is responsible for removal of bulky lesions from DNA. Over 30 proteins are involved in NER, which includes two distinct pathways: global genome NER and transcription-coupled repair. The complexity of these processes, the use of extended DNA substrates, and the presence of bulky DNA lesions induced by chemotherapy have driven researchers to seek more effective methods by which to assess NER activity, as well as to develop model DNAs that serve as efficient substrates for studying lesion removal.

Background: The currently used methods for the detection of methylene tetrahydrofolic acid reductase (MTHFR) C677T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) are either time-consuming or expensive. In this study, we devised an accurate, rapid and easy-to-use SNP detection system based on fluorescent primers amplification refractory mutation system qPCR, known as FP ARMS-qPCR.
Methods: Fluorescent primers (FPs) modified by fluorescent dye or quencher near the 3' terminal thymine were designed.

A long-standing challenge in the study of RNA structure-function dynamics using fluorescence-based methods has been the precise attachment of fluorophores to structured RNA molecules. Despite significant advancements in the field, existing techniques have limitations, especially for 3' end labeling of long, structured RNAs. In response to this challenge, we developed a chemo-enzymatic method that uses Klenow DNA polymerase to label RNAs.

Prime editor, an editing tool based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system, allows for all 12 types of nucleotide exchanges and arbitrary indels in genomic sequences without the need for inducing DNA double-strand breaks. Despite its flexibility and precision, prime editing efficiency is still low and hindered by various factors such as target sites, editing types, and the length of the primer binding site. In this study, we developed a prime editing system by incorporating an RNA motif at the 3' terminal of the pegRNA and integrating all twin prime editor factors into a single plasmid.
