Understanding the interaction mechanism between DNA nucleotide bases and carbon nanomaterials is an important issue in the field of identifying nucleotide molecules sequencing. In this article, the adsorption behavior of DNA nucleotide bases on the external surface of chiral carbon nanobelts (CNBs) (6, 5), (7, 6) and (8, 6), was comprehensively investigated from electronic and optical perspectives. As a result, it was determined that the DNA nucleotide bases have optical absorption in the ultraviolet region. When bases are adsorbed on the surface of CNBs, the optical absorption peak of the new complex structure shifted to the visible region. The study of the optical properties of selected CNBs showed that CNB (6,5) performs better in detecting Cytosine and the red shift in the absorption spectrum of complex structure is noticeable. Also, the effect of infinite length for chiral CNTs in DNA nucleotide base sequencing was investigated using DFTB approach. Our investigations based on electronic properties showed that CNTs have better performance than CNBs in DNA nucleotide base sequencing.

Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) is a critical issue with significant implications for patient care, public health, and TB control efforts that necessitate comprehensive strategies for detection. This study presents a novel point-of-care diagnostic tool for RR-TB detection employing a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-paper-based sensor combined with isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). The sensor targets mutations in codons 516, 526, and 531 of the rpoB gene, the top three common mutations associated with rifampicin-resistant strains.

To evaluate the value of increasing sequencing depths of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies based on the semiconductor sequencing platform. This study recruited a cohort of 59,800 singleton pregnancies from Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between January 2015 and December 2020, including 48,018 cases of NIPT and 11,782 cases of expanded NIPT. Cell-free DNA from plasma samples was sequenced at a sequencing depth of 0.

Searching for similar genomic sequences is an essential and fundamental step in biomedical research. State-of-the-art computational methods performing such comparisons fail to cope with the exponential growth of genomic sequencing data. We introduce the concept of sparsified genomics where we systematically exclude a large number of bases from genomic sequences and enable faster and memory-efficient processing of the sparsified, shorter genomic sequences, while providing comparable accuracy to processing non-sparsified sequences.

This paper is focused on the origins of the contemporary genetic code. A novel explanation is proposed for how the mapping of nucleotides in DNA to amino acids in proteins arose that derives from repeat nucleotide sequences able to form alternative nucleic acid structures (ANS), such as the unusual left-handed Z-DNA, triplex, G-quadruplex and I-motif conformations. The scheme identifies sequence-specific contacts that map ANS repeats to dipeptide polymers (DPS).

Within the course of evolution, TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domains acquired a myriad of functional specificities. This has significantly added to their well-established roles in innate immune signaling. These additional functions include nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)(P) hydrolase, RNA/DNA nuclease (in plants), CN (cyclic nucleotide) cyclase, and base exchanger activities.
