Highly efficient generation of transgenic sheep by lentivirus accompanying the alteration of methylation status.

BACKGROUND: Low efficiency of gene transfer and silence of transgene expression are the critical factors hampering the development of transgenic livestock.Recently, transfer of recombinant lentivirus has been demonstrated to be an efficient transgene delivery method in various animals.However, the lentiviral transgenesis and the methylation status

Analysis of the Genetic Stability of Insect and Herbicide Resistance Genes in Transgenic Rice Lines: A Laboratory and Field Experiment

Abstract A lack of stability in the expression of Bacillus thuringiensis genes (CRY) and the dialaninophosphate resistance gene (BAR) in transgenic rice plants can lead to the loss of important characters.The genetic stability of transgenic expression in high-generation lines is thus critically important for ensuring the success of molecular breedi

Leveraging multifaceted proximity measures among developers in predicting future collaborations to improve the social capital of software projects

Social capital is an asset earned by people through their social connections.One of the motivations among developers to contribute to open source development and maintenance tasks is to earn social capital.Recent studies suggest that the social capital of the project has an impact on the sustained participation of the developers in open source soft

Rice Snl6, a cinnamoyl-CoA reductase-like gene family member, is required for NH1-mediated immunity to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

Rice NH1 (NPR1 homolog 1) is a key mediator of innate immunity.In both plants and animals, the innate immune response is often accompanied by rapid cell death at the site of pathogen infection.Over-expression of NH1 in rice results in resistance to the bacterial pathogen, Twin Bookcase Storage Bed Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae (Xoo), constitutive ex
