Facilitating crRNA Design by Integrating DNA Interaction Features of CRISPR‐Cas12a System
This study introduces a novel approach combining molecular dynamics simulations and neural network modeling to predict the Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity. By integrating sequence and molecular interaction features, prediction accuracy is enhanced, and identify key features affecting Cas12a trans‐cleavage activity.

Endosymbiont-based immunity in Drosophila melanogaster against parasitic nematode infection. [PDF]
Associations between endosymbiotic bacteria and their hosts represent a complex ecosystem within organisms ranging from humans to protozoa. Drosophila species are known to naturally harbor Wolbachia and Spiroplasma endosymbionts, which play a protective ...

Abstract FtsZ forms a ring‐like assembly at the site of division in bacteria. It is the first protein involved in the formation of the divisome complex to split the cell into two halves, indicating its importance in bacterial cell division. FtsZ is an attractive target for developing new anti‐microbial drugs to overcome the challenges of antibiotic ...

ABSTRACT In this study we propose a cell‐culture protocol to better comprehend the involvement of immune/blood cells (hemocytes) in the adult neurogenesis of crustaceans. We examined whether the hemocytes of the crab Ucides cordatus may develop into neural cells in response to an in vitro stimulus. The experiments involved two steps. First, we selected

ABSTRACT To provide guidance for the actual cultivation of Micropterus salmoides, the effects of ammonia‐nitrogen (ammonia‐N) or nitrite nitrogen (nitrite‐N) stress on enzymatic activity, tissue structure and gut microbiota were investigated. The experimental groups consisted of Group 1 (control group), Group 2 (ammonia‐N stress group), Group 3 ...
