To date, frozen storage of YAC libraries have relied on the administration of glycerol to the medium subsequent to cell growth. By adding Hogness Freezing Medium prior to inoculation, cultures can be frozen directly after cell growth, with no adverse effect on the stability of the YAC DNA or on the viability of the cells even after repeated freezing and defrosting. Although a relatively simple modification, the procedure notably improves the handling of YAC libraries and significantly reduces the risk of contamination, especially when dealing with large numbers of clones.

Biomass-derived carbon materials have broad application prospects in energy storage, but still face problems such as complex synthesis paths and the massive use of corrosive activators. In this study, we proposed a mild and efficient pathway to prepare nitrogen-doped porous carbon material (N-YAC) using one-step pyrolysis with solid KCO, tobacco straw, and melamine. The optimized material (N-YAC) was not only enriched with nitrogen, but also exhibited a high specific surface area (2367 m/g) and a reasonable pore size distribution (46.

Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) are important tools for sequencing, gene cloning, and transferring large quantities of genetic information. However, the structure and activity of YAC chromatin, as well as the unintended impacts of introducing foreign DNA sequences on DNA-associated biochemical events, have not been widely explored. Here, we showed that abundant genetic elements like TATA box and transcription factor-binding motifs occurred unintentionally in a previously reported data-carrying chromosome (dChr).

Genetic materials are one of the most important and fundamental research resources for studying biological phenomena. Scientific need for genetic materials has been increasing and will never cease. Ever since it was established as RIKEN DNA Bank in 1987, the Gene Engineering Division of RIKEN BioResource Center (BRC) has been engaged in the collection, maintenance, storage, propagation, quality control, and distribution of genetic resources developed mainly by the Japanese research community.

Chediak Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder that affects multiple systems of the body. Patients with CHS exhibit hypopigmentation of the skin, eyes and hair, prolonged bleeding times, easy bruisability, recurrent infections, abnormal NK cell function and peripheral neuropathy. Morbidity results from patients succumbing to frequent bacterial infections or to an "accelerated phase" lymphoproliferation into the major organs of the body.

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are lysosomal storage diseases with severe neurodegenerative pathology. An ovine model (OCL) has well defined parallels with the human disease at a biochemical and pathological level. The gene for OCL is located in the chromosomal region OAR 7q13-15.
