Article Abstract
has become an attractive microbial platform for the study of extremophile biology and industrial bioproduction. To improve the genomic manipulation and tractability of this species, the development of tools for whole genome engineering and design is necessary. Here, we report the development of a simple and robust conjugation-based DNA transfer method from to , allowing for the introduction of stable, replicating plasmids expressing antibiotic resistance markers. Using this method with nonreplicating plasmids, we developed a protocol for creating sequential gene deletions in by targeting restriction-modification genes. Importantly, we demonstrated a conjugation-based method for cloning the large (178 kb), high G+C content MP1 megaplasmid from in . The conjugation-based tools described here will facilitate the development of strains with synthetic genomes for biological studies and industrial applications.

Hard carbon (HC) has emerged as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its low cost, abundant renewable resources, and high specific capacity. However, its practical application is significantly hindered by the severe initial irreversible capacity loss resulting from sodium consumption during the first cycle. To address this issue, a variety of presodiation strategies have been developed to compensate for the sodium loss and improve the initial coulombic efficiency.

Isatin (1-indole-2,3-dione) is a privileged nitrogen-containing heterocyclic framework that has received considerable attention in anticancer drug discovery owing to its general biological behavior and structural diversity. This review focuses on isatin-heterocyclic hybrids as a valuable model in the development of new anti-cancer drugs that may reduce side effects and help overcome drug resistance, discussing their synthetic approaches and mechanism of action as apoptosis induction through kinase inhibition. With various chemical modifications, isatin had an excellent ability to build powerful isatin hybrids and conjugates targeting multiple oncogenic pathways.

Genome editing technologies, particularly clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9, have transformed biomedical research by enabling precise genetic modifications. Due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness and versatility, CRISPR has been widely applied across various stages of research, from fundamental biological investigations in preclinical models to potential therapeutic interventions. In nephrology, CRISPR represents a groundbreaking tool for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying kidney diseases and developing innovative therapeutic approaches.

Background And Objective: Parental chromosomal structural variations (SVs) represent a primary genetic factor contributing to recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). Individuals carrying SVs with complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) typically exhibit a normal phenotype but are at an increased risk of miscarriage. Current standard clinical detection methods are insufficient for the identification and interpretation of all SV types, particularly complex and occult SVs, thereby presenting a significant challenge for clinical genetic counseling.

Kunjin virus (KUNV), a naturally attenuated strain of West Nile virus (WNV), shares similar transmission modes and hosts-primarily mosquitoes, birds, and horses. Globally, reverse genetics is the principal methodology for characterizing the molecular etiology of flaviviruses. In this study, cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter-driven KUNV reporter replicons were engineered to incorporate three distinct reporter genes: Nanoluc, oxGFP, and mCherry.
