Eukaryotic microalgae hold great promise for the bioproduction of fuels and higher value
chemicals. However, compared with model genetic organisms such as Escherichia coli and …

Plants are often simultaneously challenged by pathogens and insects capable of triggering
an array of responses that may be beneficial or detrimental to the plant. The efficacy of …

Inactivation of Phaeodactylum tricornutum urease gene using transcription activator‐like
effector nuclease‐based targeted mutagenesis - Weyman - 2015 - Plant Biotechnology Journal …

The ability to assemble large pieces of prokaryotic DNA by yeast recombination has great
application in synthetic biology, but cloning large pieces of high G+C prokaryotic DNA in yeast …

Conjugation of episomal plasmids from bacteria to diatoms advances diatom genetic
manipulation by simplifying transgene delivery and providing a stable and consistent gene …

Dinitrogen (N 2 )-fixation by cyanobacteria in symbiosis with feathermosses is the primary
pathway of biological nitrogen (N) input into boreal forests. Despite its significance, little is …

Background Synthetic genomic approaches offer unique opportunities to use powerful yeast
and Escherichia coli genetic systems to assemble and modify chromosome-sized …

Centromeres are essential for cell division and growth in all eukaryotes, and knowledge of
their sequence and structure guides the development of artificial chromosomes for functional …

Transfer of genomes into yeast facilitates genome engineering for genetically intractable
organisms, but this process has been hampered by the need for cumbersome isolation of intact …

Cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Nostoc comprise free-living strains and also facultative
plant symbionts. Symbiotic strains can enter into symbiosis with taxonomically diverse …
