摘要:
Systems and methods for data analysis are provided. In one embodiment, a method may be provided for analysis comprising electronically receiving sequence data related to a plurality of sequences and a reference sequence, associating the sequence data with one of at least two groups, identifying a plurality of high quality read sequences from among the plurality of sequences, extracting a plurality of unique read sequences from the plurality of high quality read sequences, and aligning the plurality of unique read sequences against the reference sequence data corresponding to a reference sample. The method may further identify mutations in a targeted location, display the targeted mutations, and prioritize the technologies that caused the mutations according to their efficiency. In one example, the systems and methods are used to characterize the activity of several ZFN candidates.
摘要:
A method for deleting a region of DNA in a plant. In some embodiments, the method comprises transforming a plant with a nucleic acid molecule, wherein the nucleic acid molecule encodes one or more zinc finger nuclease(s) (ZFNs) operably linked to one or more tissue-specific promoter(s), e.g., a pollen-specific promoter. Methods include excising native genes in a plant. Accordingly, in some embodiments, ZFNs are engineered that recognize sequences that flank native plant genes. In further embodiments, ZFNs are expressed under the control of developmental stage-specific promoters, such that, for example, nucleic acid sequences are specifically excised in plants during relatively late stages of development. Nucleic acid molecules useful for carrying out disclosed methods and plants produced by the methods are included.

Disclosed herein are zinc fingers comprising CCHC zinc coordinating residues. Also described are zinc finger proteins and fusion proteins comprising these CCHC zinc fingers as well as polynucleotides encoding these proteins. Methods of using these proteins for gene editing and gene regulation are also described.
摘要:
Regulatory sequences derived from a maize root preferential cationic peroxidase gene (Per5), including the promoter, introns, and the 3′ untranslated region, are useful to control expression of recombinant genes in plants.
摘要:
This invention provides a process for producing germplasm of plant species exhibiting enhanced response to anther culture. The anther culture procedure itself is used as a selection criterion for genes favoring in vitro androgenesis. After subjecting anthers to standard anther culture regeneration procedures, the regenerated plants are intermated and self-pollinated to generate valuable genetic variability for improved culture response. The transfer of increased anther culturability to other selected germplasm is also possible.

摘要:
Plant cell aggregates and plant tissues can be transformed by elongated, needle-like structures called “whiskers”. The process comprises the agitation of plant cell aggregates and plant tissues of the plant to be transformed in the presence of DNA and whiskers, whereby DNA uptake and integration thereof in facilitated. The process may be applicable to other plant cell aggregates and plant tissues which have not proven easily transformable by other techniques.
