Agrobacterium strains harbour insertion sequences, which are known to transpose into genomes as well as into Ti plasmids. In this study we report the inactivation of a transgene due to transposition of the A. tumefaciens insertion sequence IS136. The transposition was discovered following transformation of plant tissues, although the fidelity of the binary vector was confirmed following transformation into Agrobacterium. Such transpositions are rare but can occur and it is thus important to check the fidelity of the binary vector at different times of Agrobacterium growth in order to avoid failure in achieving transgene expression.

Unlabelled: Genome- and epigenome-wide association studies have associated variants and methylation status of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1a) to reductions in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels. We report significant associations between the presence of SNPs and reductions in plasma cholesterol, as well as positive associations between hepatic Cpt1a expression and plasma cholesterol levels across inbred mouse strains. Mechanistic studies show that both wild type and human apolipoprotein B100 (apoB)-transgenic mice with liver-specific deletion of (LKO) display lower circulating apoB levels consistent with reduced LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and LDL particle number.

Background: Inactivation or mutations of FAM20C causes human Raine Syndrome, which manifests as lethal osteosclerosis bone dysplasia or non-lethal hypophosphatemia rickets. However, it is only hypophosphatemia rickets that was reported in the mice with Fam20c deletion or mutations. To further investigate the local and global impacts of Fam20c mutation, we constructed a knock-in allele carrying Fam20c mutation (D446N) found in the non-lethal Raine Syndrome.

Norepinephrine (NE) released from locus coeruleus (LC) noradrenergic (NAergic) neurons plays a pivotal role in the regulation of olfactory behaviors. However, the precise circuits and receptor mechanisms underlying this function are not well understood. Here, in DBH-Cre mice model, we show that LC NAergic neurons project directly to both anterior piriform cortex (aPC) and the olfactory bulb (OB).

To encode continuous sound stimuli, the inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses utilize calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs), which reduce the inactivation of their Ca1.3 calcium channels. Mutations in the gene underlie non-syndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss DFNB93.

Background: Synovial macrophages (SMs) are important effectors of joint health and disease. A novel Cx3CR1 + TREM2 + SM population expressing the tight junction protein claudin-5, was recently discovered in synovial lining. Ablation of these SMs was associated with onset of arthritis.
