Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to methods, assays and kits to maintain a human stem cell population in an undifferentiated state by inhibiting the expression or function of METTL3 and/or METTL4, and m6A fingerprint methods, assays, arrays and kits to assess the cell state of a human stem cell population by assessing m6A levels (e.g. m6A peak intensities) of a set of target genes disclosed herein to determine if the stem cell is in an undifferentiated or differentiated state.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a methanol metabolic pathway that can enhance the availability of reducing equivalents in the presence of methanol. Such reducing equivalents can be used to increase the product yield of organic compounds produced by the microbial organism, such as 1,4-butanediol (BDO). Also provided herein are methods for using such an organism to produce BDO.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to the isolation and sequencing of nucleic acid molecules that encode methyltransferase polypeptides from a Papaver somniferum cultivar; and uses in the production of noscapine and identification of poppy cultivars that include the genes that comprise said nucleic acid molecules.
Abstract:
Provided herein are H1.0K180me2 antibodies, H1.0K180me2 proteins, and H1.0K180me2 peptides and methods of use for diagnostics and therapeutics. These H1.0K180me2 antibodies, H1.0K180me2 proteins, and H1.0K180me2 peptides may be used in the treatment of methylated H1.0-related diseases or conditions in an individual. These H1.0K180me2 antibodies, H1.0K180me2 proteins, and H1.0K180me2 peptides may also be used for the detection and quantification of a histone H1.0 protein or fragment thereof, comprising a dimethylated lysine at lysine residue 180 (H1.0K180me2); such compositions and methods are useful for detecting replicative senescence, DNA damage, genotoxic stress, radiation exposure, Alzheimer's disease, are useful for monitoring therapeutic regimens, patient stratification, drug screening, and may serve as a marker of biological aging in a system.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions related to the use of Mobile Element Insertions and their adjacent genomic sequences. Methods using MEIs as markers for cellular proliferation, as targets for pharmaceuticals, as markers for tissue fingerprinting and in related methods and compositions are disclosed herein. Methods and compositions relate to the detection, treatment and ongoing monitoring of cell proliferation events, cancer, and deleterious effects of mobile elements in aging, and to the selection, use and monitoring of the success of treatment regimens to address these conditions.
Abstract:
The invention provides compositions and methods for clostridial bacteria that have been engineered to produce and/or to improve efficiency of production of industrial bioproducts.
Abstract:
A method is proposed for producing flavonoids, comprising the steps: (a) providing of a transgenic microorganism, containing (i) a first nucleic acid section (A), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a CYP450 oxidase, (ii) a second nucleic acid section (B), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a plant O-methyltransferase, and (b) adding of one or more flavanones to the transgenic microorganism, (c) the conversion of the substrate flavanones by the transgenic microorganism to the corresponding flavonoids, and optionally (d) isolating and purifying of the final products.
