Research progress in gene editing technology

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021
As a tool for modifying the genome, gene editing technology has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in the past two years. With the emergence of new gene editing technologies, such as transposon editing tools, numerous advancements have been

Changes in the copy number of class II transposons in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum strain V03-2g and its derivatives with broadened phytopathogenicity

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2019
Phytopathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum can parasitize on more than 120 species of crops and ornamental plants posing a serious danger to world agriculture. The wide range of hosts can be evidence of fast changes in the genomes of F.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Transposons and CRISPR: Rewiring Gene Editing

open access: yes, 2022
CRISPR-Cas is driving a gene editing revolution because of its simple reprogramming. However, off-target effects and dependence on the double-strand break repair pathways impose important limitations.

Profiling neoadjuvant therapy response in rectal cancer using meta‐analysis of publicly available transcriptomic RNA‐seq datasets

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates publicly available transcriptomic datasets to identify molecular signatures associated with response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. By analyzing a combination of multiple cohorts with bioinformatics approaches, we reveal biological pathways and immune‐related features that may improve ...

Optimizing photoactivation of PA‐mCherry for optical pooled CRISPR screens

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Photoactivatable PA‐mCherry finds widespread use to optically tag individual cells. However, confocal 405 nm UV laser‐scanning (normal scan) is much less efficient than widefield UV illumination, limiting the use of PA‐mCherry on confocal instruments. We remedy this limitation by reporting that rapid and repeated confocal scanning with a low‐intensity,

Understanding the Regulation Activities of Transposons in Driving the Variation and Evolution of Polyploid Plant Genome

open access: yesPlants
Transposon is the main component of the eukaryotic genome, and more and more plant genome data show that transposons are diverse in regulating genome structure, variation, function and evolution, with different transposition mechanisms in the genome ...

Investigation into the mobile genetic elements of Clostridium difficile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Clostridium difficile is a pathogenic bacterium that can colonise both humans and various animals. Toxin production leads to clinical symptoms ranging from mild to severe diarrhoea and can result in potentially fatal pseudomembranous colitis.

Advanced Materials for Biologics Delivery to Brain Tumors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Material innovation is central to unlocking the therapeutic potential of biologics against many central nervous system diseases, including brain cancer. By engineering carriers with controlled transport, targeting, and release properties, advanced materials can overcome the blood–brain barrier and tumor microenvironment, improving the delivery of ...
