Article Abstract

Efficient DNA assembly methods are essential tools for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Among several recently developed methods that allow assembly of multiple DNA fragments in a single step, DNA assembly using type IIS enzymes provides many advantages for complex pathway engineering. In particular, it provides the ability for the user to quickly assemble multigene constructs using a series of simple one-pot assembly steps starting from libraries of cloned and sequenced parts. We describe here a protocol for assembly of multigene constructs using the modular cloning system (MoClo). Making constructs using the MoClo system requires to first define the structure of the final construct to identify all basic parts and vectors required for the construction strategy. Basic parts that are not yet available need to be made. Multigene constructs are then assembled using a series of one-pot assembly steps with the set of identified parts and vectors.

In this study, a comprehensive genome-wide identification and analysis of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) gene family was performed to explore the role of Gossypium hirsutumAKR40 under salt stress in cotton. A total of 249 AKR genes were identified with uneven distribution on the chromosomes in four cotton species. The diversity and evolutionary relationship of the cotton AKR gene family was identified using physio-chemical analysis, phylogenetic tree construction, conserved motif analysis, chromosomal localization, prediction of cis-acting elements, and calculation of evolutionary selection pressure under 300 mM NaCl stress.

Background: Platinum resistance poses a significant challenge in the treatment of osteosarcoma, leading to poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. This study aims to develop a prognostic model by analyzing platinum-resistant genes (PRGs), focusing on their roles in lysosomal function and immune suppression.

Methods: We conducted a univariable Cox analysis to identify diagnostic-related genes (PRGs) from a training cohort of osteosarcoma patients.

Basic Pentacysteine (BPC) represents a class of plant-exclusive transcription factors, serving pivotal roles in orchestrating developmental processes and mediating responses to both biotic and abiotic stressors. However, the genome-wide characteristics and low-temperature response mechanism of the gene family in cotton remain unclear. Employing a genome-wide screening approach, this study characterized 60 distinct BPC transcription factor genes across ten species.

Dirigent proteins (DIR) are involved in lignan biosynthesis, stress responses, and disease resistance in plants. However, systematic characterization of the DIR gene family in watermelon () remains limited. Here, we identified 22 genes in watermelon using bioinformatics methods, designated to , which were unevenly distributed across eight chromosomes and classified into three subfamilies (DIR-a, DIR-b/d, DIR-e) based on phylogenetic analysis, with DIR-b/d being the largest.
