Retroviruses are responsible for significant pathology in humans and animals, including the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and a wide range of malignancies. A crucial yet poorly understood step in the replication cycle is the recognition and selection of unspliced viral RNA (USvRNA) by the retroviral Gag protein, which binds to the psi (Ψ) packaging sequence in the 5' leader, to package it as genomic RNA (gRNA) into nascent virions. It was previously thought that Gag initially bound gRNA in the cytoplasm.

The cell adhesion molecule Leucine-Rich Repeat Transmembrane neuronal protein 2 (LRRTM2) is crucial for synapse development and function. However, our understanding of its endogenous trafficking has been limited due to difficulties in manipulating its coding sequence (CDS) using standard genome editing techniques. Instead, we replaced the entire LRRTM2 CDS by adapting a two-guide CRISPR knock-in method, enabling complete control of LRRTM2.

Soil salinity adversely affects plant growth and development, reducing the yield of most crops, including wheat. The highly salt-tolerant wheat germplasm lines W4909 and W4910 were derived from a cross between two moderately salt-tolerant lines, the Chinese Spring (CS)/ disomic addition line AJDAj5 (AJ) and the Ph-inhibitor line (Ph-I) derived from CS/. Molecular markers for gene introgressions in W4909 and W4910 were not reported.

Infection by human astrovirus (HAstV), a small, positive-strand RNA virus, is a major cause of gastroenteritis and has been implicated in an increasing number of severe, sometimes fatal, neurological diseases since 2008. Currently, there are no vaccines or antiviral treatments available to treat HAstV infection. An attractive target for antiviral therapeutics is the viral protease due to its essential functions throughout infection.
