Modular cloning systems streamline laboratory workflows by consolidating genetic 'parts' into reusable and modular collections, enabling researchers to fast-track strain construction. The GoldenBraid 2.0 modular cloning system utilizes the cutting property of type IIS restriction enzymes to create defined genetic 'grammars', which facilitate the reuse of standardized genetic parts and assembly of genetic parts in the right order. Here, we present a GoldenBraid 2.0 toolkit of genetic parts designed to accelerate cloning in the model bacterium . This toolkit features 478 pre-made parts for gene expression and protein tagging as well as strains to expedite cloning and strain construction, enabling researchers to quickly generate functional plasmid-borne or chromosome-integrated expression constructs. In addition, we provide a complete laboratory manual with overviews of common reagent recipes, protocols, and community resources to promote toolkit utilization. By streamlining the assembly process, this resource will reduce the financial and temporal burdens of cloning and strain building in many laboratory settings.

To date, environmental conditions have been enough to act as an effective barrier to prevent non-indigenous species from arriving and establishing in Arctic Canada. However, rapidly changing climatic conditions are creating more suitable habitats for non-indigenous species to potentially establish and become invasive. Concurrently, shipping traffic in parts of Arctic Canada has increased by over 250% since 1990, providing an effective vector for transporting non-indigenous species to the region.

The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an endemic disease in pork-producing regions of the world, and its control remains poor. Rapid identification of PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 species is of great importance for molecular epidemiological surveillance of the virus. The objective of this study was the molecular characterization of the ORF5 gene that synthesizes glycosylated protein 5 (GP5) from PRRS virus detected in pig farms in Lima, Perú.

Chitinases, enzymes responsible for hydrolyzing chitin, a significant component of fungal cell walls, play a crucial role in plant defense mechanisms, growth, symbiotic relationships, and stress resistance. In this study, we identified 27 chitinase genes in chickpeas (CaChi) and classified them into five classes based on phylogenetic analysis. Overall, chitinase genes are clustered on eight chromosomes.
