Roles of circRNAs | CMAR
Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer, with an increasing global incidence, and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality.1 Although hepatitis B and C virus infections, cirrhosis, alcohol intake, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are the main risk factors contributing to HCC.1,2 Approximately…

Separate exogenous from endogenous transcripts using Salmon RNAseq DTU
Dear friends, We are trying to use Salmon for DTU analysis. We want to separate exogenous from endogenous transcripts by following this post www.biostars.org/p/443701/ and this paper f1000research.com/articles/7-952 We are focusing on a gene called ASCL1 (endo-ASCL1). We transduced cells with lentiviral vector containing ASCL1 ORF only (Lenti-ASCL1). There should…

Frontiers | Machine Learning and Deep Learning Applications in Metagenomic Taxonomy and Functional Annotation
Introduction The study of the microbial environments has benefited from the sequencing revolution, where technology improvement decreased the DNA sequencing cost and increased the number of sequenced nucleic bases. For approximately 20 years (depending on how we define the term metagenomics), it has allowed the decryption of the microbial composition…

A cell-based phenotypic library selection and screening approach for the de novo discovery of novel functional chimeric antigen receptors
Cell lines and culture Unless stated otherwise, all tumor target cell lines were sourced from the ATCC via LGC Standards. Human endogenous mesothelin (MSLN)-positive target cell lines H-226 (lung carcinoma, MSLN+, ATCC® CRL-5826™) and AsPC-1 (ATCC CRL-1682), and MSLN-negative Raji control cells (ATCC CCL-86) were cultured in RPMI-1640 Glutamax (Life Technologies,…
New bioinformatics method to analyze viral sgRNA
Single guide ribonucleic acid (sgRNA) molecules are produced by discontinuous transcription, in which viral RNA-dependant RNA polymerase pauses early negative-sense RNA synthesis and then jumps to the other end of the genome. The specifics of this process are still not fully understood. Since sgRNAs can play an important role in…
AAV ShRNA Cloning Service – CD Biospeeds
AAV ShRNA Cloning Service AAV ShRNA Cloning Service Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a type of parvovirus. Its genome is single-stranded DNA and has the ability to infect both dividing and non-dividing cells. Adenovirus or herpes virus is usually needed to help it replicate and expand in the…
Human microRNA inhibits expression of pathogenic gene underlying facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
Fig. 1: miR-675 targets the DUX4 ORF and 3′UTR. a RenLuc-DUX4-FL dual-luciferase reporter and CMV.H19 constructs, and U6.MIR675, H1.MIR675, U6.MIR675-3p, and U6.MIR675-5p miRNAs.

High-purity production and precise editing of DNA base editing ribonucleoproteins
Abstract Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex–mediated base editing is expected to be greatly beneficial because of its reduced off-target effects compared to plasmid- or viral vector–mediated gene editing, especially in therapeutic applications. However, production of recombinant cytosine base editors (CBEs) or adenine base editors (ABEs) with ample yield and high purity in…
