New In Vitro Dna Polymerase Activity and Fidelity Assay Reveals Age-Dependent Changes in Arabidopsis thaliana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing DNA chain during replication and DNA repair. DNA polymerase activity and fidelity are important characteristics that reflect the ability of DNA polymerase to add nucleotides and then proofread newly synthesized DNA. We have developed a protocol allowing analysis of polymerase activity and fidelity using crude Arabidopsis thaliana plant extracts. It is based on the ability of DNA polymerases in the extract to elongate the fluorescently labelled primer annealed to a short complementary template. For analysis, fluorescently labelled products were separated on a denaturing polyacrylamide gel and visualized using a high performance blot imager. Analysis of tissue prepared from 5-, 12- and 21-day-old Arabidopsis plants showed an age-dependent decrease in polymerase activity, an increase in polymerase fidelity and a tendency to an increase in exo- (endo) nucleolytic activity.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
