Prospects for transgenesis in the chick [PDF]
Research to develop a useful method for genetic modification of the chick has been on-going since the first demonstrations in the mouse in the 1980s that genetic modification is an invaluable tool for the study of gene function. Manipulation of the chick

Potent CRISPR-Cas9 inhibitors from Staphylococcus genomes. [PDF]
Anti-CRISPRs (Acrs) are small proteins that inhibit the RNA-guided DNA targeting activity of CRISPR-Cas enzymes. Encoded by bacteriophage and phage-derived bacterial genes, Acrs prevent CRISPR-mediated inhibition of phage infection and can also block ...

Background Lentiviral vectors are well suited for gene therapy because they can mediate long-term expression in both dividing and nondividing cells. However, lentiviral vectors seem less suitable for liver gene therapy because systemically administered ...

Nucleolar Localization of HIV-1 Rev Is Required, Yet Insufficient for Production of Infectious Viral Particles. [PDF]
Combination antiretroviral therapy fails in complete suppression of HIV-1 due to drug resistance and persistent latency. Novel therapeutic intervention requires knowledge of intracellular pathways responsible for viral replication, specifically those ...

Effectiveness of gene delivery systems for pluripotent and differentiated cells
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) assert a great future for the cardiovascular diseases, both to study them and to explore therapies. However, a comprehensive assessment of the viral vectors used to modify these

Generation of stably expressing IRF5 spliced isoform in Jurkat cells
Lentiviral transduction enables the generation of gain-of-function of a targeted gene in mammalian cells. Single-cell cloning through limiting dilution can establish a population of cells with homogenous transgene expression for exploring protein ...

Creating New β-Globin-Expressing Lentiviral Vectors by High-Resolution Mapping of Locus Control Region Enhancer Sequences. [PDF]
Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy is a promising approach for treating disorders of the hematopoietic system. Identifying combinations of cis-regulatory elements that do not impede packaging or transduction efficiency when included in lentiviral ...

Perinatal Gene Transfer to the Liver [PDF]
The liver acts as a host to many functions hence raising the possibility that any one may be compromised by a single gene defect. Inherited or de novo mutations in these genes may result in relatively mild diseases or be so devastating that death within
