The products of the Cdx genes, Cdx1, Cdx2 and Cdx4, play multiple roles in early vertebrate development, and have been proposed to serve to relay signaling information from Wnt, RA and FGF pathways to orchestrate events related to anterior-posterior vertebral patterning and axial elongation.

A working model for cytoplasmic assembly of H/ACA snoRNPs
Dyskerin is the component of nuclear H/ACA ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) endowed with pseudouridine synthase catalytic activity. Two isoforms of human dyskerin have been characterized: the abundant Iso1, mainly nuclear, and the shorter Iso3, mainly cytoplasmic but occasionally imported into nuclei.

Latest Developed Strategies to Minimize the Off-Target Effects in CRISPR-Cas-Mediated Genome Editing
Gene editing that makes target gene modification in the genome by deletion or addition has revolutionized the era of biomedicine. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 emerged as a substantial tool due to its simplicity ...

A CRISPR Approach to Gene Targeting [PDF]
It is getting easier and easier to determine complete genome sequences—of model organisms, animals and plants of commercial importance, and humans: Craig Venter, Jim Watson, the 1000 Genome Project, soon you and me. Now that researchers have all this information at hand, the focus has shifted in many cases to manipulating particular sequences to ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of huge importance, resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. Here, we describe how a new drug, enmetazobactam, designed to help fight resistant bacterial diseases, inhibits a key enzyme (GES‐1) responsible for AMR. Our data show it is a more potent inhibitor than the related tazobactam, with high‐level computation

Myostatin gene targeting in cultured China Han ovine myoblast cells
Myostatin (MSTN), a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, has been shown to be a negative regulator of myogenesis. Natural mutation in beef cattle causes double-muscling phenotypes.

Mutations in the C9orf72 gene represent the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Using patient‐derived neurons and C. elegans models, we find that the nucleoporin Nup107 is dysregulated in C9orf72‐associated ALS. Conversely, reducing Nup107 levels mitigates disease‐related changes.

Modeling recursive RNA interference. [PDF]
An important application of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is its use as a small RNA-based regulatory system commonly exploited to suppress expression of target genes to test their function in vivo.

Gene Targeting with Viral Vectors
Genetic manipulation of cells for scientific and therapeutic goals can be achieved by both gene-addition and gene-targeting methods. Gene targeting precisely alters a gene in its natural chromosome location, providing distinct advantages over gene-addition approaches.
