The DNA from several clinical isolates of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) were compared with the DNA from the vaccine strain VZV using three restriction endonucleases: BamHI, BgII, and HpaI. When electrophoresed through an agarose gel, the vaccine DNA digestion pattern was significantly different from the digestion patterns of the wild-type DNAs. Variations in the digestion pattern of the separate clinical isolates were also observed.

The detection of cancer-associated nucleic acids and mutations through liquid biopsy has emerged as a highly promising non-invasive approach for early cancer detection and monitoring. In this study, we report the development of primer exchange reaction (PER) based signal amplification strategy that enables the rapid, sensitive and specific detection of nucleic acids bearing cancer specific single nucleotide mutations using flow cytometry. Using micrometer size beads as support for immobilizing oligonucleotides and programmable PER assembly for target oligonucleotide recognition and fluorescence signal amplification, we demonstrated the versatile detection of target nucleic acids including KRAS oligonucleotide, fragmented mRNAs, and miR-21.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a one-step genome engineering method for making gene deletions and insertions in honey bee gut bacteria, which is simple and efficient.
- This technique uses electroporation with plasmid DNA to integrate antibiotic resistance and fluorescent protein genes into bacterial chromosomes without needing additional recombination tools.
- The approach shows promise for studying gene functions in various bee-associated microbes, aiding in the understanding of their role in bee health and interactions with their hosts.

We investigated the basic characteristics of a new murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) vector platform. Using BAC technology, we engineered replication-competent recombinant MCMVs with deletions of up to 26% of the wild-type genome. To this end, we targeted five gene blocks (m01-m17, m106-m109, m129-m141, m144-m158, and m159-m170).

Article Synopsis
- The infection affects about 50% of people globally, leading to chronic gastritis and gastric cancer, and resistance to antibiotics like clarithromycin complicates treatment efforts.
- A new method called SHIELD was developed for simultaneously detecting the infection and clarithromycin resistance, utilizing RAA and CRISPR/Cas13a technology for enhanced accuracy.
- SHIELD demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, successfully diagnosing the infection and resistance mutations in saliva samples, suggesting its potential for rapid and large-scale clinical application.
