One plasmid, the gene of interest plasmid, codes for the gene of interest, the second, the Rep-Cap, codes for the genes required for replication and capsid assembly, and the third, the helper ...

Other useful features of this genetic circuit are that it can be used with any gene of interest and expression can be fine-tuned as desired. Collins anticipates applications of the system in ...

CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing technology known for its user-friendliness, can knock genes in or out. Knocking out a gene involves inserting CRISPR-Cas9 into a cell using a guide RNA that targets the ...

1 The PACE system has two main parts: M13 phages and E. coli cells. The phage contains the gene of interest that scientists want to evolve to perform a specific function. Scientists then delete the ...
