Filamentous fungi of the genus include producers of industrially important organic acids, enzymes, and secondary metabolites, as well as pathogens of many plants and animals. Novel genes in the genome are potentially crucial for the fermentation and drug industries (e.g.

The genomes of numerous herpesviruses have been cloned as infectious bacterial artificial chromosomes. However, attempts to clone the complete genome of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), formally known as Gallid alphaherpesvirus-1, have been met with limited success. In this study, we report the development of a cosmid/yeast centromeric plasmid (YCp) genetic system to reconstitute ILTV.

Cosmid libraries constructed from environmental metagenome samples are powerful tools for capturing the genomic diversity of complex microbial communities. The large insert size (∼35 kb) of such libraries means they are compatible with downstream expression of large biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). This allows the discovery of previously undescribed natural products that would be inaccessible using traditional culture-based discovery pipelines.

Simultaneous expression of multiplex guide RNAs (gRNAs) is valuable for knockout of multiple genes and also for effective disruption of a gene by introducing multiple deletions. We developed a method of Tetraplex-guide Tandem for construction of cosmids containing four and eight multiplex gRNA-expressing units in one step utilizing lambda in vitro packaging. Using this method, we produced an adenovirus vector (AdV) containing four multiplex-gRNA units for two double-nicking sets.

Background: Genome editing using the CRISPR/Cas9 system is now well documented in basic studies and is expected to be applied to gene therapy. Simultaneous expression of multiplex guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas9/Cas9 derivative is attractive for the efficient knockout of genes and a safe double-nicking strategy. However, such use is limited because highly multiplex gRNA-expressing units are difficult to maintain stably in plasmids as a result of deletion via homologous recombination.
