Single-locus probe (SLP) a sequence of labeled DNA or RNA that can be used to identify a region of DNA tandem repeats found in the genome only once. It may be used in resolving cases of disputed parentage.

Or gene and its use in manipulating carotenoid content and composition in plants and other organisms

The cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) Or gene is a semi-dominant, single-locus mutation. It induces the accumulation of high levels of beta-carotene in various tissues that are normally devoid of carotenoids, turning them orange. Using a map-based cloning strategy, we identified a single gene representing Or and successfully verified its identity by functional complementation in the wild type cauliflower. The Or gene encodes a plastid membrane protein containing the DnaJ zinc figure domain. A likely gain-of-function mutation from a 4.3-kb retrotransposon insertion in the Or allele confers the orange phenotype in the mutant. Southern blot analysis revealed that Or is a single-copy sequence in the cauliflower genome. High level of expression of the Or gene and the protein was found in very young leaves, curds, and flowers at comparable abundance between wild type and the Or mutant. Or likely functions in regulating the differentiation of some non-photosynthetic plastids into chromoplasts, which provide the deposition “sink” for carotenoid accumulation. Successful demonstration of Or in conferring carotenoid accumulation in potato tubers indicates its potential use to improve the nutritional value in staple crops.

Methods for Adeno-Associated Viral Vector Production

The invention relates to an adeno-associated virus (AAV) producer cell comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding: rep / cap gene; helper virus genes; and the DNA genome of the AAV vector particle, wherein the nucleic acid sequences are all integrated together at a single locus within the AAV producer cell genome. The invention also relates to nucleic acid vectors comprising a non-mammalian origin of replication and the ability to hold at least 25 kilobases (kb) of DNA, characterized in that the nucleic acid vectors comprise nucleic acid sequences encoding: rep / cap gene, and helper virus genes. The invention also relates to uses and methods using the nucleic acid vectors in order to produce stable AAV packaging and producer cell lines.

Fusion protein based on CjCas9 and VPR core structure domains, corresponding DNA targeting activation system and application of system

The invention discloses a fusion protein based on CjCas9 and VPR core structure domains, a corresponding DNA targeting activation system and application of the system. The fusion protein comprises twoheterologous polypeptide structure domains, and one polypeptide structure domain comprises VPR protein with the transcription activation activity; the other polypeptide structure domain comprises theCjCas9 protein, the CjCas9 protein is in a dCjCas9 subtype or a mini-dCjCas9 subtype or a CjCas9 wild type, and the dCjCas9 subtype contains D8A and H559A single-locus amino acid mutation; the mini-dCjCas9 subtype contains D8A single-locus amino acid mutation and deficiency of most HNH structure domains. The DNA targeting activation system comprises the fusion protein and one or more kinds of guide RNA, and the guide RNA comprises a sequence with the length of 14-22 bp and a framework sequence with the length of 80 bp, wherein the sequences are designed for a target gene promoter area. The DNA targeting activation system is applied to targeting activation of a gene. The DNA targeting activation system has the advantages of being small in size, capable of achieving high specificity, a highactivation effect and easy synthesis, low in cost and the like.
