    Exploring cellular memory molecules marking competent and active transcriptions

    Development in higher eukaryotes involves programmed gene expression. Cell type-specific gene expression is established during this process and is inherited in succeeding cell cycles. Higher eukaryotes have ev...

    Evaluation of optimal expression cassette in retrovirus vector for β-thalassemia gene therapy

    Trials of retroviral vector-mediated human β-globin gene transfer were hampered by low titers, unstable vector transmission, and low-level expression of transferred gene. With the goal of optimizing the retrov...

    Inversion and Transposition of Tc1 Transposon of C. elegans in Mammalian Cells

    Tc1/mariner transposons are widespread in the eukaryotes. In vitro transposition test indicated that the transposase is the only protein that is needed in transpositions. It was shown later that ...
