The invention discloses a method for expression of CRISPR sgRNA by a eukaryotic cell III-type promoter and a use thereof. A eukaryotic cell III-type promoter (U6 or H1) starts expression of multiple hairpin structure small RNAs connected in series by Drosha cleavage sites. Through expression in the eukaryotic cell, multiple CRISPR sgRNAs with bioactivity can be produced. Aiming at the U6-sgRNA-shRNA-shRNA structure, the U6-started expression structure can produce a primary transcript containing multiple sgRNAs and shRNAs. In the eukaryotic cell, through processing, the sgRNAs can respectively identify corresponding target sites so that the Cas9 protein is guided to target multiple sites and thus a foundation is laid for multiple gene editing. Compared with the traditional method for expression multiple sgRNAs and the tRNA-gRNA system new reported by Plants, the method provided by the invention has a simple structure and is convenient for construction. Through a Golden Gate method, shRNA-sgRNA sequences are connected in series so that more sites are targeted or multiple shRNA interference genes are expressed.

A statistical and functional correlation strategy to identify changes in cellular pathways specifically linked to impaired cognitive function with aging. Analyses using the strategy identified multiple groups of genes expressed in the hippocampi of mammals, where the genes were expressed at different levels for several ages. The aging changes in expression began before mid-life. Many of the genes were involved in specific neuronal and glial pathways with previously unrecognized relationships to aging and / or cognitive decline. The processes identified by the strategy suggest a new hypothesis of brain aging in which initially decreased neuronal activity and / or oxidative metabolism trigger separate but parallel genomic cascades in neurons and glia. In neurons, the cascade results in elevations in calcium signaling and reductions of immediate early gene signaling, biosynthesis, synaptogenesis and neurite remodeling. In contrast, glia undergo increased lipid metabolism and mediate a cycle of demyelination and remyelination that induces antigen presentation, inflammation, oxidative stress and extracellular restructuring. These identified genes and the proteins they encode can be used as novel biomarkers of brain aging and as targets for developing treatment methods against age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.

Methods and constructs for the introduction of multiple genes into plants using a single transformation event are described. Constructs contain a single 5′ promoter operably linked to DNA encoding a modified intein splicing unit. The splicing unit is expressed as a polyprotein and consists of a first protein fused to an intein fused to a second protein. The splicing unit has been engineered to promote excision of all non-essential components in the polyprotein but prevent the ligation reactions normally associated with protein splicing. Additional genetic elements encoding inteins and additional proteins can be fused in frame to the 5′-terminus of the coding region for the second protein to form a construct for expression of more than two proteins. A single 3′ termination sequence, such as a polyadenylation sequence when the construct is to be expressed in eucaryotic cells, follows the last coding sequence. These methods and constructs are particularly useful for creating plants with stacked input traits, illustrated by glyphosate tolerant plants producing BT toxin, and / or value added products, illustrated by the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates in plants.

Polygenic disorders are due to the additive effect of multiple genes interacting with the environment. Because of the small effect size of each gene and considerable genetic heterogeneity, when single genes are examined, the outcome of association and linkage analyses are variable from study to study. Techniques are needed that take these unique characteristics of polygenic disorders into consideration. The present invention discloses that the formation of a polygenic score, consisting of the additive effect of multiple candidate genes, and its assessment using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots, provides such a technique. Six genes previously shown to be associated with Alzheimer's disease were examined, APOE, ACE, ACP1, ESR1, PNMT and SLC6A4. The total fraction of the variance, the area under the ROC plots, and the range of risks were similar for both groups indicating that despite genetic heterogeneity and the small effect size of most genes, consistent risk analyses could be obtained by examining the additive effect of these multiple genes. The present invention also discloses diagnostic tests for determining a subject's risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease or specifically Late Onset Alzheimer's Disease.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the etiological agent of a contagious and often lethal viral disease of domestic pigs. Control of ASF has been hampered by the unavailability of vaccines. Experimental vaccines have been derived from naturally occurring, cell culture-adapted, or genetically modified live attenuated ASFVs; however, these vaccines are only successful when protecting against homologous viruses. Among viral genes reported to be involved in virulence are components of the multi gene family (MGF). Here we report the construction of a recombinant ΔMGF virus derived from the highly virulent ASFV Georgia 2007 (ASFV-G) isolate. In vivo, ASFV-G ΔMGF administered intramuscularly (IM) to swine at either 102 or 104 HAD50 are completely attenuated; the inoculated animals are completely asymptomatic. Animals infected with 102 or 104 HAD50 of ASFV-G ΔMGF are protected against the presentation of clinical disease when challenged at 28 days post infection with the virulent parental strain Georgia 2007.
