Abstract:
The invention generally relates to compositions and methods for designing and producing functional DNA binding effector molecules and associated customized services, tool kits and functional assays. In some aspects, the invention provides methods and tools for efficient assembly of customized TAL effector molecules. Furthermore, the invention relates to uses of TAL effector molecules and functional evaluation of such TAL by, for example, customized assays.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and compositions for producing prokaryotic organisms having multiple chromosomes. The methods and compositions allow for the production of organisms which may have one or more individual chromosomes replaced with a genetically engineered chromosome thereby providing a modified organism with new or improved properties.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for the production of nucleic acid molecules. In some aspects, the invention allows for the microscale generation of nucleic acid molecules, optionally followed by assembly of these nucleic acid molecules into larger molecules. In some aspects, the invention allows for efficient production of nucleic acid molecules (e.g., large nucleic acid molecules such as genomes).
