Published: July 2015

We have adapted the Golden Gate DNA assembly method to the assembly of transcription units (TUs) for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in a method we call yeast Golden Gate (yGG). yGG allows for the easy assembly of TUs consisting of promoters (PRO), coding sequences (CDS), and terminators (TER). Carefully designed overhangs exposed by digestion with a type IIS restriction enzyme enable virtually seamless assembly of TUs that, in principle, contain all of the information necessary to express a gene of interest in yeast. We also describe a versatile set of yGG acceptor vectors to be used for TU assembly. These vectors can be used for low or high copy expression of assembled TUs or integration into carefully selected innocuous genomic loci. yGG provides synthetic biologists and yeast geneticists with an efficient new means by which to engineer S. cerevisiae.

Modular cloning of multigene vectors for the baculovirus system and yeast.

Recombinant macromolecular complexes are often produced by the baculovirus system, using multigene expression vectors. Yet, the construction of baculovirus-compatible multigene expression vectors is complicated and time-consuming. Furthermore, while the baculovirus and yeast are popular protein expression systems, no single method for multigene vector construction is compatible with both.

Cloning methods are fundamental to synthetic biology research. The capability to generate custom DNA constructs exhibiting predictable protein expression levels is crucial to the engineering of biology. Golden Gate cloning, a modular cloning (MoClo) technique, enables rapid and reliable one-pot assembly of genetic parts.

A total of 164 viruses have been identified in peppers worldwide. To combat viruses, pathogen-derived resistance (PDR) has been employed by expressing a viral genomic segment or a viral protein in host plants. Unfortunately, peppers are recalcitrant to genetic transformation and regeneration.

Framework for developing self-actualization skills in young adults with autism.

Health Care Transit

January 2024

Purpose: Young adults with autism spectrum disorder (YAASD) often lack the skills needed for successful adult living and subsequently develop lower quality of life and health in adulthood. Therefore, we developed a framework to support resilience and improve quality of life in YAASD, which will be used to develop a life-skills curriculum for YAASD.

Methods: We conducted a qualitative study of YAASD, parents of YAASD and service providers recruited from agencies that serve YAASD using Grounded Theory.
