Modular cloning systems that rely on type IIS enzymes for DNA assembly have many advantages for construct engineering for biological research and synthetic biology. These systems are simple to use, efficient, and allow users to assemble multigene constructs by performing a series of one-pot assembly steps, starting from libraries of cloned and sequenced parts. The efficiency of these systems also facilitates the generation of libraries of construct variants. 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. The assembly strategy is then defined following a set of standard rules. 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.

The emerging bioeconomy presents a promising solution to both economic and environmental challenges. Within the bioeconomy, plants serve as a renewable, sustainable, and cost-effective source of foods, fuels, chemicals, and materials. However, traditional breeding and single-gene engineering approaches fall short in addressing complex traits (e.

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.
