A cartridge capable of making effective use of a sample is provided. A blood sample is injected into a well via an injection path by use of a syringe, and so forth. A roller, in a state as kept pressed into contact with the cartridge, is rotated rightward, whereupon an elastic member undergoes elastic deformation to cause the blood sample held in the well, and a liquid solvent held in a well to reach a well, and the blood sample is thereby mixed with the liquid solvent. Since the liquid solvent contains surfactant, blood cells are destroyed in the well. The liquid solvent reaches a well via a flow path. At this point in time, magnetic particles held in the well, and a cleaning liquid held in the well are merged with the mixed liquid in the well. A magnet is shifted from a position corresponding to the well to a position corresponding to the well along the flow path, thereby separating and transferring DNA caught by the magnetic particles to the well. Residue inside the well after removal of DNA is transferred to a well by the roller. The separated biopolymers are analyzed in the cartridge.

A method of producing a cloned or genetically modified non-human mammalian embryo comprising: (a) providing a cell culture comprising a plurality of in vitro matured oocytes; (b) preferentially selecting from the cell culture a rapidly matured oocyte or developmentally competent oocyte; (c) transferring DNA from a donor cell derived from non-human mammalian tissue to the matured oocyte to form a nuclear transfer unit; and (d) culturing said nuclear transfer unit to form an embryo. At the initiation of maturation, oocytes are preferably beyond the GV-II stage of prophase I. Porcine oocytes most preferably mature in about 20-28 hours.

Disclosed are a gene carrier in which polyethyleneglycol is conjugated with polyethyleneimine and a method for the synthesis thereof. The gene carrier is useful in transferring DNA, siRNA and negatively charged peptides.

The invention relates to a hydrogel and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of medical materials. According to the main technical scheme, the preparation method of the hydrogel comprises the following steps: step 1), preparing calcium carbonate nanoparticle CaCO3 at DNA loaded with DNA; 2) preparing a first reaction solution from sodium alginate, chitosan and CaCO3 atDNA; adding gluconolactone into the first reaction solution and stirring, and obtaining a mixed solution; and standing the mixed solution to obtain the hydrogel. The preparation method is mainly usedfor preparing the hydrogel which can slowly release DNA and is good in structural uniformity; when the hydrogel is applied to a wound sore surface, seepage can be adsorbed, bacteria can be blocked, and a wet environment can be maintained; meanwhile, salt in the body fluid and Ca < 2 + > in the hydrogel are subjected to ion exchange, so that the alginic acid network is slowly degraded, and the calcium carbonate nanoparticles loaded with DNA are released. Compared with free DNA molecules, the calcium carbonate nanoparticles can transfer DNA into cells more efficiently, and proliferation of the cells is promoted.

The invention relates to methods for stably integrating a desired polynucleotide into a plant genome.

The present invention relates to an in vivo method for specific targeting and transfer of DNA into mammalian repair cells. The transferred DNA may include any DNA encoding a therapeutic protein of interest. The invention is based on the discovery that mammalian repair cells proliferate and migrate into a wound site where they actively take up and express DNA. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions that may be used in the practice of the invention to transfer the DNA of interest. Such compositions include any suitable matrix in combination with the DNA of interest.

The invention relates to methods for stably integrating a desired polynucleotide into a plant genome, comprising transforming plant material with a first vector comprising nucleotide sequences encoding TAL proteins designed to recognize a target sequence; transforming the plant material with a second vector comprising (i) a marker gene that is not operably linked to a promoter (“promoter-free marker cassette”) and which comprises a sequence homologous to the target sequence; and (ii) a desired polynucleotide; and identifying transformed plant material in which the desired polynucleotide is stably integrated.

Disclosed is a device capable of efficiently electrotransferring DNA into cells by means of single-capacitance discharge. The principles of the system involve storing charge quanta on a capacitor and then discharging it through an array of electrodes configured to generate an electric field having an electric field potential gradient focused to a region through an array configuration and having an intensity sufficient to efficiently electrically transfer DNA into cells. The DNA or associated ribonucleic acid molecules or even other charged molecules, once entering the cell, affect the change in biological function.
