Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-assisted genome editing has been applied to several major edible agaricomycetes, enabling efficient gene targeting. This method is promising for rapid and efficient breeding to isolate high-value cultivars and overcome cultivation challenges. However, the integration of foreign DNA fragments during this process raises concerns regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their regulatory restrictions.

infection is a health challenge. Although, antiplasmodial drugs kill the parasites, information on the effects of infection and drugs on the expression of some genes is limited. Malaria was induced in two different studies using NK65 (chloroquine-susceptible, study 1), and ANKA (chloroquine-resistant, study 2) strains of in 30 male Swiss mice (n = 5) in each study.

Unlabelled: In the present study, we compared a simplified small-scale purification protocol to obtain DNA admixtures out of wine, with our large-scale published method. The extraction methods must provide DNA free of PCR inhibitors, that can interfere with DNA amplification. To evaluate the efficiency of grapevine's nuclear DNA extraction from wine, the new protocol was also compared in terms of purity and yield to the DNA obtained out of grapevine's () leaf tissue, using a commercial kit.

In times of war, radiological/nuclear emergency scenarios have become a reemphasized threat. However, there are challenges in transferring whole-blood samples to laboratories for specialized diagnostics using RNA. This project aims to miniaturize the process of unwieldy conventional RNA extraction with its stationed technical equipment using a microfluidic-based slide (MBS) for point-of-care diagnostics.
