CRISPR-Cas9 Mediated Exonic Disruption for HIV-1 Elimination
Abstract Background A barrier to HIV-1 cure rests in the persistence of proviral DNA in infected CD4+ leukocytes. The high HIV-1 mutation rate leads to viral diversity, immune evasion, and consequent antiretroviral drug resistance. While CRISPR-spCas9 can eliminate latent proviral DNA, its efficacy is limited by HIV strain diversity and…

The Shh/Gli3 gene regulatory network precedes the origin of paired fins and reveals the deep homology between distal fins and digits
Significance In this study, we show that the inactivation of the gli3 gene in medaka fish results in the formation of larger dorsal and paired fins. These mutant fins display multiple radial bones and fin rays which resemble polydactyly in Gli3-deficient mice. Our molecular and genetic analyses indicate that the…

normalization – What statistics can I use on qPCR data composed of several runs if all normality tests fail on the dataset?
I have >100 qPCR experiments that I’d like to analyze together, each containing the same set of genes (10 genes of interest and 2 reference genes). I have four different samples (untreated & 3 treatments) from the same cell culture. Our setup allows two of them to be run at…
Intergenerational Effects of Maternal Obesity on Offspring Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Production and DNA Damage
Abstract: Epidemiological studies have shown that offspring from pregnancies complicated by maternal obesity have a 4-fold greater risk for developing childhood obesity and symptoms of metabolic syndrome. The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis states that certain environmental exposures during critical windows of development may have consequences for…
