Massive contractions of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2-associated CCTG tetranucleotide repeats occur via double strand break repair with distinct requirements for helicases
By David Papp, Luis Hernandez Verified, Theresa A. Mai, Terrance J. Haanen| bioRxiv@ AbstractMyotonic Dystrophy Type 2 (DM2) is a genetic disease caused by expanded CCTG DNA repeats in the first intron of CNBP. The number of CCTG repeats in DM2 patients ranges from 75-11,000, yet little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for repeat expansions or contractions. We developed an experimental system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that enables selection of large-scale contractions of (CCTG)100 within the intron of a reporter gene and subsequent genetic analysis.
By Luis Hernandez Verified, Sara Ceccarelli Verified, Patrick Zephyr, Charlotte Fjelkegård| experiment.com@ About This ProjectSpiders are abundant and very interesting invertebrates, but there is still much we don't know about their diversity and distribution, especially in North America where it is estimated that only 27% of arachnids have been studied. Our objetive is study Phidippus spiders in North American, under a taxonomic, ecological, and evolutionary approach to evaluate its center of origin, geographic delimitation and divergence rates with parametric biogeography methods.
