" Rather than using triple-helix formation and DNA-binding proteins, a new approach is discussed that can sequence specifically cleaved supercoiled double-stranded DNAs by a hybrid nuclease utilizing D-loop formation. This design technology should facilitate the manipulation and mapping of genetic DNA.

" A highly efficient and diastereoselective procedure for the preparation of substituted imines from imines using organometallic agents has been reported, eliminating the problems of side effects and poor yield.
