Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Wills, Norma M. | -1 frameshifting at a CGA AAG hexanucleotide site is required for transposition of insertion sequence IS1222 | The discovery of programmed _x0001_1 frameshifting at the hexanucleotide shift site CGA_AAG, in addition to the classical X_XXY_YYZ heptanucleotide shift sequences, prompted a search for instances among eubacterial insertion sequence elements. IS1222 has a CGA_AAG shift site. A genetic analysis re... | Hexanucleotides; Heptanucleotides; Frameshifting | 2004 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Ascertainment bias in estimates of average heterozygosity | Population geneticists work with a nonrandom sample of the human genome. Conventional practice ensures that unusually variable loci are most likely to be discovered and thus included in the sample of loci. Consequently, estimates of average heterozygosity are biased upward. In what follows we descri... | Bias (Epidemiology); Biometry; Heterozygote | 1996-05 |

Gesteland, Raymond F. | Characterization of lysozyme messenger and lysozyme synthesized in vitro | In vitro systems for protein systhesis have been in wide use for about 10 years.
