Enhanced gene trapping in mouse embryonic stem cells [PDF]
Gene trapping is used to introduce insertional mutations into genes of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). It is performed with gene trap vectors that simultaneously mutate and report the expression of the endogenous gene at the site of insertion and ...

AAV and Insertional Mutagenesis
In this issue of Molecular Therapy, David Russell provides an invited commentary on data presented at the tenth annual meeting of the American Society of Gene Therapy that strongly suggested that adenovirus-associated virus (AAV) vector insertion could in certain models be linked to the development of cancer.1 A short report describing the data that ...

L1 Retrotransposon Heterogeneity in Ovarian Tumor Cell Evolution
Summary: LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons are a source of insertional mutagenesis in tumor cells. However, the clinical significance of L1 mobilization during tumorigenesis remains unclear.

Detecting statistically significant common insertion sites in retroviral insertional mutagenesis screens. [PDF]
Retroviral insertional mutagenesis screens, which identify genes involved in tumor development in mice, have yielded a substantial number of retroviral integration sites, and this number is expected to grow substantially due to the introduction of high ...

Cancer Gene Discovery: Exploiting Insertional Mutagenesis [PDF]
Abstract Insertional mutagenesis has been used as a functional forward genetics screen for the identification of novel genes involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers. Different insertional mutagens have been successfully used to reveal new cancer genes.

Genome-wide transposon mutagenesis of paramyxoviruses reveals constraints on genomic plasticity.
The antigenic and genomic stability of paramyxoviruses remains a mystery. Here, we evaluate the genetic plasticity of Sendai virus (SeV) and mumps virus (MuV), sialic acid-using paramyxoviruses that infect mammals from two Paramyxoviridae subfamilies ...

ApuA, a multifunctional x-glucan-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus suis, mediates adhesion to porcine epithelium and mucus [PDF]
We have identified apuA in Streptococcus suis, which encodes a bifunctional amylopullulanase with conserved -amylase and pullulanase substrate-binding domains and catalytic motifs.

Random Insertional Mutagenesis of a Serotype 2 Dengue Virus Clone
Protein tagging is a powerful method of investigating protein function. However, modifying positive-strand RNA virus proteins in the context of viral infection can be particularly difficult as their compact genomes and multifunctional proteins mean even ...
