In this study the anaphase promoting complex subunit CDC27a from Arabidopsis thaliana was introduced in the genome of Nicotiana benthamiana by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The presence of the At-CDC27a gene facilitates plant biomass production. Compared to

A conditional silencing suppression system for transient expression [PDF]
AbstractRNA silencing is a powerful tool deployed by plants against viral infection and abnormal gene expression. Plant viruses have evolved a suite of silencing suppressors for counter-defense, which are also widely used to boost transcript and protein accumulation in transient assays.

Persistence of RNAi-Mediated Knockdown in Drosophila Complicates Mosaic Analysis Yet Enables Highly Sensitive Lineage Tracing. [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful way of reducing gene function in Drosophila melanogaster tissues. By expressing synthetic short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) using the Gal4/UAS system, knockdown is efficiently achieved in specific tissues or in

miRNA-based rapid differentiation of purified neurons from hPSCs advancestowards quick screening for neuronal disease phenotypes in vitro [PDF]
Obtaining differentiated cells with high physiological functions by an efficient, but simple and rapid differentiation method is crucial for modeling neuronal diseases in vitro using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs).

The human adenovirus 5 L4 promoter is activated by cellular stress response protein p53 [PDF]
During adenovirus infection, the emphasis of gene expression switches from early genes to late genes in a highly regulated manner. Two gene products, L4-22K and L4-33K, contribute to this switch by activating the Major Late Transcription Unit (MLTU) and ...

DsRed2 transient expression in Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes [PDF]
Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes have been successfully genetically modified only once, despite the efforts of several laboratories to transform and establish a stable strain. We have developed a transient gene expression method, in Culex, that delivers plasmid DNA directly to the mosquito haemolymph and additional tissues.

Expression of the Biologically Active Insulin Analog SCI-57 in Nicotiana Benthamiana
Diabetes mellitus is a growing problem worldwide; however, only 23% of low-income countries have access to insulin, and ironically it costs higher in such countries than high-income ones.
