Unlike traditional methods of genetic engineering, minichromosomes can be used to transfer and express multiple sets of genes onto one engineered chromosome package. [8] Traditional methods which involve the insertion of novel genes into existing sequences may result in the disruption of endogenous genes [1] and thus negatively affect the host ...
Birchler's lab also developed the first engineered minichromosomes in plants, by using telomere repeat sequences to truncate B chromosomes in maize. [6] James A. Birchler also developed Fast-Flowering Mini-Maize [ 7 ] as a small, rapid-cycling model for maize.
The minichromosome maintenance protein complex (MCM) is a DNA helicase essential for genomic DNA replication. Eukaryotic MCM consists of six gene products, Mcm2–7, which form a heterohexamer.
Genome editing uses artificially engineered nucleases that create specific double-stranded breaks at desired locations in the genome. The breaks are subject to cellular DNA repair processes that can be exploited for targeted gene knock-out, correction or insertion at high frequencies.

Common to all engineered vectors are an origin of replication, a multicloning site, and a selectable marker. The vector itself generally carries a DNA sequence that consists of an insert (in this case the transgene) and a larger sequence that serves as the "backbone" of the vector. The purpose of a vector which transfers genetic information to ...
Orville and Wilbur Wright engineered the aircraft so that a portion of its wings “warped” back and forth to produce the same effect. Image credits: Sasha Weilbaker #23 Camouflage.
Cells engineered to fluoresce under UV light. Cell engineering is the purposeful process of adding, deleting, or modifying genetic sequences in living cells to achieve biological engineering goals such as altering cell production, changing cell growth and proliferation requirements, adding or removing cell functions, and many more.
