MicroRNAs preferentially target the genes with high transcriptional regulation complexity [PDF]

Biochem Biophys Res Commun., 352:733-738, 2007, 2006
Over the past few years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a new prominent class of gene regulatory factors that negatively regulate expression of approximately one-third of the genes in animal genomes at post-transcriptional level. However, it is still unclear why some genes are regulated by miRNAs but others are not, i.e.

In planta gene targeting [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
The development of designed site-specific endonucleases boosted the establishment of gene targeting (GT) techniques in a row of different species. However, the methods described in plants require a highly efficient transformation and regeneration procedure and, therefore, can be applied to very few species.

The natural dietary genistein boosts bacteriophage-mediated cancer cell killing by improving phage-targeted tumor cell transduction [PDF]

, 2016
Gene therapy has long been regarded as a promising treatment for cancer. However, cancer gene therapy is still facing the challenge of targeting gene delivery vectors specifically to tumors when administered via clinically acceptable non-invasive ...

Targeted Forward Genetics: Population-Scale Analyses of Allele Replacements Spanning Thousands of Base Pairs in Fission Yeast

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Precise allele replacement (genome editing), without unwanted changes to the genome, provides a powerful tool to define the functions of DNA elements and encoded factors in their normal biological context.

Disruption of the Schizosaccharomyces japonicus lig4 Disturbs Several Cellular Processes and Leads to a Pleiotropic Phenotype

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Gene targeting is a commonly used method to reveal the function of genes. Although it is an attractive tool for molecular studies, it can frequently be a challenge because its efficiency can be low and it requires the screening of a large number of ...

Retargeted adenoviruses for radiation-guided gene delivery [PDF]

, 2016
The combination of radiation with radiosensitizing gene delivery or oncolytic viruses promises to provide an advantage that could improve the therapeutic results for glioblastoma. X-rays can induce significant molecular changes in cancer cells.

LPG2 Gene Duplication in Leishmania infantum: A Case for CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
On the surface of the Leishmania promastigote, phosphoglycans (PG) such as lipophosphoglycan (LPG), proteophosphoglycan (PPG), free phosphoglycan polymers (PGs), and acid phosphatases (sAP), are dominant and contribute to the invasion and survival of ...

RNase P Ribozyme Effectively Inhibits Human CC-Chemokine Receptor 5 Expression and Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 Infection

Zoonotic Diseases, 2023
Developing novel antiviral agents and approaches is essential for the treatment against human and zoonotic viruses. We had previously produced RNase P-based ribozyme variants capable of efficiently cleaving mRNA in vitro.

Genes predisposing to type 1 diabetes mellitus and pathophysiology: a narrative review [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
The possibility of targeting the causal genes along with the mechanisms of pathogenically complex diseases has led to numerous studies on the genetic etiology of some diseases. In particular, studies have added more genes to the list of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) suspect genes, necessitating an update for the interest of all stakeholders ...

Gene drive dynamics in natural populations: The importance of density-dependence, space and sex [PDF]

Annual Review of Ecology Evolution and Systematics. Vol. 51, 2020, 2020
The spread of synthetic gene drives is often discussed in the context of panmictic populations connected by gene flow and described with simple deterministic models. Under such assumptions, an entire species could be altered by releasing a single individual carrying an invasive gene drive, such as a standard homing drive.
