Article Abstract
Transposons are invaluable biological tools for the genetic manipulation of microorganisms. ISY100 from sp. PCC6803 is a member of the Tc1//IS superfamily, and is characterized by high transposition efficiency and a strong preference for TA target sequences. In this paper, we describe the design and application of a mini-ISY100 suicide vector for the creation of stable random transposon insertion libraries. The system was successfully applied in seven species belonging to four different orders of γ proteobacteria. In all cases, delivery using conjugation consistently showed the highest transposition efficiency compared to chemical transformation or electroporation. We determined the frequency of transposon insertions in all the species and proved the utility of the system by identifying genes involved in colony coloration in . The ease and the efficiency of the protocol developed here allow the creation of complete knock-out libraries in an extensive range of host microorganisms in less than a week with no requirement for preparatory modification.

Programmable DNA integration using CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs) offers powerful capabilities for genome engineering. The single effector Cas12k CAST examples evolved from a fixed guide TnpB nuclease protein. Here, we engineer de novo RNA-guided transposition systems, where the single guide RNA effector components are repurposed nuclease-dead TnpB-family proteins.

This is a case of a 6-week-old male with D-TGA and multiple large ventricular septal defects who presented with oxygen desaturations into the 60s. He had initially undergone palliative pulmonary artery banding at a different institution, for concern that patch closure of his large ventricular septal defect would compromise ventricular function. We decided to undergo 3D printing and 4D modelling of his heart to delineate his ventricular septal defect anatomy in preparation for their closure and arterial switch operation.

Objective: Single-cell transcriptome sequencing is a powerful tool for investigating cellular diversity in normal development and disease. However, prevalent methods predominantly employ 3'-end sequencing of transcripts, limiting the analysis of alternative splicing and other post-transcriptional processes. While full-length single-cell transcriptome sequencing methods, such as Smart-seq, offer more comprehensive information, but are restricted by low-throughput.

Carbapenem resistance mediated by -encoded metallo-beta-lactamases is often linked to IS, an insertion sequence from the IS family, which is widely distributed among critical and high-priority bacterial pathogens. The rapid dissemination of IS-linked in both nosocomial and community-acquired infections presents a serious challenge to healthcare systems and pharmaceutical industries. Despite the urgency of this issue, the factors driving spread and the molecular mechanisms governing IS mobility remain poorly understood.
