Grepore-seq: A Robust Workflow to Detect Changes After Gene Editing Through Long-Range PCR and Nanopore Sequencing

Grepore-seq: A Robust Workflow for Detecting Gene Editing Changes through Long-Range PCR and Nanopore Sequencing Research Background The CRISPR/Cas9 system, as an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease system, has been widely applied in genome editing. As its potential in clinical treatment continues to increase, comprehensive evaluation of gene editing resul...

Superior Fidelity and Distinct Editing Outcomes of SaCas9 Compared with SpCas9 in Genome Editing

Comparison of SaCas9 and SpCas9 in High-Fidelity and Different Gene Editing Outcomes Research Background CRISPR systems based on Cas9 protein have become powerful tools for genome editing, widely used in basic research and clinical gene therapy. Currently, the most commonly used Cas9 variants are SpCas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes and SaCas9 from S...

High Sensitivity of Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing in Colon Tissue Biopsy by Host DNA Depletion

High sensitivity of high-throughput metagenomic sequencing in colon tissue biopsies: Eliminating the impact of host DNA Background Evaluating bacterial taxonomic structure through next-generation sequencing without culturing has become a common method for studying the relationship between bacterial imbalance and various diseases. Previous studies h...

Comprehensive Characterization and Global Transcriptome Analysis of Human Fetal Liver Terminal Erythropoiesis

Comprehensive Characterization and Transcriptome Analysis of Terminal Erythropoiesis in Human Fetal Liver Background and Research Question Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell production. Initially, “primitive” erythropoiesis occurs in the yolk sac, gradually replaced by “terminal” erythropoiesis in the fetal liver (FL) and postnatal bon...

Protein Lactylation and Metabolic Regulation of the Zoonotic Parasite Toxoplasma gondii

A Study on Protein Lactylation and Metabolic Regulation Reveals New Areas of Toxoplasma gondii Biology Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed protozoan parasite that infects over 30% of the world’s population. It causes toxoplasmosis, a widespread zoonotic disease. The parasite has a complex life cycle, including sexual and asexual...
