Chromosomal position effects on AAV-mediated gene targeting [PDF]
The effects of chromosomal position and neighboring genomic elements on gene targeting in human cells remain largely unexplored. To study these, we used a shuttle vector system in which murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based proviral targets present at ...

Primer selection impacts specific population abundances but not community dynamics in a monthly time-series 16S rRNA gene amplicon analysis of coastal marine bacterioplankton. [PDF]
Primers targeting the 16S small subunit ribosomal RNA marker gene, used to characterize bacterial and archaeal communities, have recently been re-evaluated for marine planktonic habitats.

An approach for the identification of targets specific to bone metastasis using cancer genes interactome and gene ontology analysis [PDF]
Metastasis is one of the most enigmatic aspects of cancer pathogenesis and is a major cause of cancer-associated mortality. Secondary bone cancer (SBC) is a complex disease caused by metastasis of tumor cells from their primary site and is characterized by intricate interplay of molecular interactions.

The Amino Terminus of the Yeast F_1-ATPase β-Subunit Precursor Functions as a Mitochondrial Import Signal [PDF]
The ATP2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae codes for the cytoplasmically synthesized beta-subunit protein of the mitochondrial F1-ATPase. To define the amino acid sequence determinants necessary for the in vivo targeting and import of this protein into ...

Production and characterization of eggs from hens with ovomucoid gene mutation
Ovomucoid is a major egg white protein which is considered as the most dominant allergen in chicken eggs. Owing to the difficulty of separating ovomucoid from egg whites, researchers have adopted genetic deletion for development of hypoallergenic eggs ...

Spatial clustering and common regulatory elements correlate with coordinated gene expression [PDF]
Many cellular responses to surrounding cues require temporally concerted transcriptional regulation of multiple genes. In prokaryotic cells, a single-input-module motif with one transcription factor regulating multiple target genes can generate coordinated gene expression.

ProtiGeno: a prokaryotic short gene finder using protein language models [PDF]
Prokaryotic gene prediction plays an important role in understanding the biology of organisms and their function with applications in medicine and biotechnology. Although the current gene finders are highly sensitive in finding long genes, their sensitivity decreases noticeably in finding shorter genes (<180 nts).

Gene Targeting Without DSB Induction Is Inefficient in Barley [PDF]
Double strand-break (DSB) induction allowed efficient gene targeting in barley (Hordeum vulgare), but little is known about efficiencies in its absence. To obtain such data, an assay system based on the acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene was established, a
