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 ...
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.
The structures of Borg genomes are conserved and distinct from the plasmids and chromosomes of Methanoperedens, as well as other archaeal genomes. [4] Borgs do not contain protein-coding genes that are associated with plasmids or viruses; they also lack rRNA genes, origins of replication, or other vital genes and features that are commonly found within minichromosomes (also known as ...
With the onset of these discoveries, several approaches in classifying different components of multipartite genomes were proposed. Various terms have been used to describe large replicons other than the main chromosome, including simply designating them as additional chromosomes, or "minichromosomes", "megaplasmids", or "secondary chromosomes".
Researchers have developed an inexpensive blood test that they say can detect pancreatic cancer — even in its early stages.. Using a small blood sample, researchers from Oregon Health & Science ...
The brain may contain higher -- and more significant -- amounts of microplastics than other organs in the body, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of New Mexico Health ...
An ocean of liquid water on the Martian surface, according to scientists, potentially could have harbored living organisms, much like the primordial seas of early Earth. The rover, which operated ...
Water desalination (e.g. new membranes for highly-efficient low-cost ion removal) [12] Soil remediation (e.g. catalytic nanoparticles that accelerate the degradation of long-lived soil contaminants such as chlorinated organic compounds) [13] Carbon sequestration (e.g. new materials for CO 2 adsorption) [14]
