摘要:
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods that involve recombinant polynucleotide molecules, such as single or double-stranded DNA or RNA molecules, also referred to “triggers”, that are useful for controlling or preventing E. necator infection, or recombinant DNA constructs for making such RNA molecules or for making transgenic grape plants resistant to E. necator infection. In some embodiments, polynucleotide triggers are provided as topically applied agents for controlling or preventing infection of a plant by E. necator.

The present disclosure also relates to compositions and methods relating to reducing the potency of arthropods using double-stranded RNA and agents to control pests of bees and beehives.
摘要:
Provided herein, in some embodiments, are compositions and methods for a plasmid addiction system based on essential glycolytic genes. Also provided herein, in some embodiments, are compositions and methods for a plasmid addiction system based on an outer membrane efflux protein.
摘要:
Provided herein, are compositions based on retroviruses (e.g., lentiviruses) comprising one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding retroviral Pol polyprotein components and a nucleic acid molecule comprising one or more transgene sequences flanked by long terminal repeat sequences, for delivery of the one or more transgenes to a target cell ex vivo or in vivo. The compositions are useful for delivering to a target cell (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), liver cells, ocular cells, muscle cells, epithelial cells, T cells, etc.) and/or stably expressing any transgene (e.g., beta-globin, Factor VIII, RP GTPase regulator (RPGR), dystrophin, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chimeric antigen receptor, etc.) with a biological effect to treat and/or ameliorate the symptoms associated with any disorder related to gene expression (e.g., sickle cell disease, beta-thalassemia, haemophilia B, retinitis pigmentosa, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, cancer, etc.).
摘要:
Provided herein, in some embodiments, are systems, methods, and compositions (e.g., cells and cell lysates) for enzymatically converting a polymeric glucose carbohydrate (e.g., starch) to sugar.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods for using RNAi molecules targeting an Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) gene for controlling Coleopteran insects, methods for producing RNAi molecules targeting IAP, and compositions comprising RNAi molecules targeting IAP.

Provided herein, in some embodiments, are systems, methods, and compositions (e.g., cells and cell lysates) for enzymatically converting a polymeric glucose carbohydrate (e.g., starch) to sugar.
摘要:
Methods are provided for controlling metabolic flux rate in a cell-free system comprising a complex set of enzymes, to produce a desired product of a pathway of interest. In the methods of the invention, measurements of metabolic performance parameters are taken by continuous monitoring or intermittent monitoring. Based on the metabolic performance parameters, the system is modified by one or more steps comprising: (i) altering enzyme levels in the cell-free system; (ii) altering feed rate of a substrate that controls redox flux or carbon flux to the cell-free system; (iii) altering O2 addition to the cell-free system; (iv) controlling efficiency of electron transport system by altering leakage across a membrane; wherein enzymes present in the pathway of interest catalyze production of a desired product.
摘要:
The embodiments described herein pertain to cells, and methods for preparing cells, that can be used as biocatalysts by altering enzymes that compete for a substrate or product of a pathway of interest such that the targeted enzyme is sensitive to a site-specific protease, which protease is expressed but relocated in the cell to a site where it is not in contact with the targeted enzyme in the intact cell. Upon cell lysis, the protease contacts the target enzyme, which is then inactivated by protease cleavage.
