Construction and characterization of a partial binary bacterial artificial chromosome (BIBAC) of Agave tequilana var. azul (2X) and its application for gene identification [PDF]
The structure and organization of the genome of Agave is still unknown. To provide a genomic tool for searching sequences of the genus, we built and characterized a binary (BIBAC2) genomic library of Agave tequilana Weber var. azul.

Monitoring genomic sequences during SELEX using high-throughput sequencing: neutral SELEX. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: SELEX is a well established in vitro selection tool to analyze the structure of ligand-binding nucleic acid sequences called aptamers. Genomic SELEX transforms SELEX into a tool to discover novel, genomically encoded RNA or DNA sequences ...

CRISPR SWAPnDROP -- A multifunctional system for genome editing and large-scale interspecies gene transfer [PDF]
The need for diverse chromosomal modifications in biotechnology, synthetic biology and basic research requires the development of new technologies. With CRISPR SWAPnDROP, we extend the limits of genome editing to large-scale in-vivo DNA transfer between bacterial species.

Organization and sequence of the gene encoding the human acrosin-trypsin inhibitor (HUSI-II) [PDF]
A complete cDNA encoding the acrosin-trypsin inhibitor, HUSI-II, was used as a probe to isolate genomic clones from a human placenta library. Three clones which cover the entire HUSI-II gene were isolated and characterized.

Competitive Genomic Screens of Barcoded Yeast Libraries [PDF]
By virtue of advances in next generation sequencing technologies, we have access to new genome sequences almost daily. The tempo of these advances is accelerating, promising greater depth and breadth. In light of these extraordinary advances, the need for fast, parallel methods to define gene function becomes ever more important.

EGC: a format for expressing prokaryotic genomes content expectations [PDF]
The number of available genomes of prokaryotic organisms is rapidly growing enabling comparative genomics studies. The comparison of genomes of organisms with a common phenotype, habitat or phylogeny often shows that these genomes share some common contents.

Construction of Gene Targeting Vectors from λKOS Genomic Libraries
We describe a highly redundant murine genomic library in a new λ phage, λ knockout shuttle (λKOS) that facilitates the very rapid construction of replacement-type gene targeting vectors.

Cloning and expression of porcine β1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase encoding a new xenoreactive antigen [PDF]
Xenograft rejection of pigs organs with an engineered mutation in the GGTA-1 gene (GTKO) remains a predominantly antibody mediated process which is directed to a variety of non-Gal protein and carbohydrate antigens.

Characterization of Mauritius parakeet (Psittacula eques) microsatellite loci and their cross-utility in other parrots (Psittacidae, Aves). [PDF]
We characterized 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the endangered Mauritius parakeet (Psittacula eques). Loci were isolated from a Mauritius parakeet genomic library that had been enriched separately for eight different repeat motifs.
