A Dual-Luciferase Reporter System for Characterization of Small RNA Target Genes in both Mammalian and Insect Cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulatory RNA molecules that bind to target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and affect the stability or translational efficiency of the bound mRNAs. Single or dual-luciferase reporter systems have been successfully used to identify miRNA target genes in mammalian cells, however, they are not sensitive enough to verify miRNA–target...

CPS1 Markerless Deletion Mutant as a Method for Marker Deletion
This technology involves a novel system using a two-step process to eliminate a gene of interest by incorporating a “suicide gene” vector system. The construct created by this method results with no foreign sequences, making the strains markerless mutants. This means that one has the potential to make genetic strains with multiple mutations...

Demultiplex Single-Cell Sequencing Data using DNA Barcode Dyes
This technology applies to single cell RNA sequencing data that is created in parallel (multiplexed) to speed the process. Once the multiplexed data exists, it needs to be recombined into one set (demultiplexed) to be useful. This technology is a new demultiplexing technique that uses dyes combined with DNA barcodes, simplifying the demultiplexing process.

Novel Mechanism Anti-Fungal with High Specificity
University of Arizona researchers have discovered a novel approach for treating fungal or yeast infections using a previously unstudied GPCR-like protein, which is integral to the regulation of cell growth in yeast cells. This protein and metabolic pathway is absent in higher-order animals, which provides a novel pathway for drugs to stop the growth...
