Nature Communications, 2020 Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by Huntingtin (Htt) gene mutation resulting in the loss of striatal GABAergic neurons and motor functional deficits. We report here an in vivo cell conversion technology to reprogram striatal astrocytes into GABAergic ...

Programmable base editing of zebrafish genome using a modified CRISPR-Cas9 system. [PDF]
, 2017 Precise genetic modifications in model animals are essential for biomedical research. Here, we report a programmable "base editing" system to induce precise base conversion with high efficiency in zebrafish. Using cytidine deaminase fused to Cas9 nickase,

Sexy gene conversions: locating gene conversions on the X-chromosome
Nucleic Acids Research, 2009 Gene conversion can have a profound impact on both the short- and long-term evolution of genes and genomes. Here, we examined the gene families that are located on the X-chromosomes of human (Homo sapiens), chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), mouse (Mus musculus) and rat (Rattus norvegicus) for evidence of gene conversion.

Host plant-dependent phenotypic reversion of Ralstonia solanacearum from non-pathogenic to pathogenic forms via alterations in the phcA gene [PDF]
, 2003 Ralstonia solanacearum is a plant pathogenic bacterium that undergoes a spontaneous phenotypic conversion (PC) from a wild-type pathogenic to a non-pathogenic form.

Chromosome End Repair and Genome Stability in
mBio, 2017 The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum replicates within circulating red blood cells, where it is subjected to conditions that frequently cause DNA damage. The repair of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) is thought to rely almost exclusively on

Lack of RNA-DNA oligonucleotide (chimeraplast) mutagenic activity in mouse embryos [PDF]
, 2005 There are numerous reports of the use of RNA-DNA oligonucleoticles (chimeraplasts) to correct point mutations in vitro and in vivo, including the human apolipoprotein E gene (ApoE).

The rate of meiotic gene conversion varies by sex and age
Nature Genetics, 2016 Meiotic recombination involves a combination of gene conversion and crossover events that, along with mutations, produce germline genetic diversity. Here we report the discovery of 3,176 SNP and 61 indel gene conversions.

DAVID gene ID conversion tool [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2008 Our current biological knowledge is spread over many independent bioinformatics databases where many different types of gene and protein identifiers are used. The heterogeneous and redundant nature of these identifiers limits data analysis across different bioinformatics resources.
