Previously a method of selection of colicine-defective recombinant plasmids by mitomycin C was described. A series of recombinant plasmids (CPS) with various EcoRI-fragments of pea chloroplast DNA has been obtained. This paper describes some properties of cloned fragments replicated in Escherichia coli. The alkali stability of recombinant plasmid DNAs has been demonstrated, indicating the absence of ribonucleotides in their structure. Heterogeneity of chloroplast DNA in nucleotide composition was demonstrated using ultracentrifugation analysis of CPS-plasmid DNAs in CsCl-actinomycin D density gradient. Pea chloroplast rDNA was cloned in recombinant plasmids.

Cold‑inducible RNA‑binding protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes depending on its cellular localization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of CIRP in liver regeneration and injury after hepatectomy has not been investigated. The present study was therefore designed to explore whether CIRP is involved in liver regeneration after hepatectomy and its specific role and underlying molecular mechanism.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing problem worldwide, and new treatment options for bacterial infections are direly needed. Engineered probiotics show strong potential in treating or preventing bacterial infections. However, one concern with the use of live bacteria is the risk of the bacteria acquiring genes encoding for AMR or virulence factors through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and the transformation of the probiotic into a superbug.

Objectives: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by (), which can lead to complications such as encephalitis and ocular toxoplasmosis. The disease becomes more severe when the host's immune system is compromised. Rhoptry proteins are major virulence factors that enable to invade host cells.

The murine hepatitis virus (MHV) is an important model system for studying coronavirus (CoV) molecular and cell biology. Despite this, few reagents for MHV are available through repositories such as ATCC or Addgene, potentially limiting the widespread adoption of MHV as a tractable model system. To overcome some challenges inherent in the existing MHV reverse genetics systems, we developed a plasmid-launched transformation-associated recombination (TAR) cloning-based system to assemble the MHV (strain A59; MHV-A59) genome.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is pivotal for the molecular characterization of ()-the leading bacterial cause of sexually transmitted infections and infectious blindness worldwide. WGS can inform epidemiologic, public health and outbreak investigations of these human-restricted pathogens. However, challenges persist in generating high-quality genomes for downstream analyses given its obligate intracellular nature and difficulty with propagation.
