Cre/lox-Recombinase-Mediated Cassette Exchange for Reversible Site-Specific Genomic Targeting of the Disease Vector, Aedes aegypti
Site-specific genome modification (SSM) is an important tool for mosquito functional genomics and comparative gene expression studies, which contribute to a better understanding of mosquito biology and are thus a key to finding new strategies to eliminate vector-borne diseases. Moreover, it allows for the creation of advanced transgenic strains for vector control programs. SSM circumvents the d...
متن کاملSite-Specific Cassette Exchange Systems in the Aedes aegypti Mosquito and the Plutella xylostella Moth
Genetically engineered insects are being evaluated as potential tools to decrease the economic and public health burden of mosquitoes and agricultural pest insects. Here we describe a new tool for the reliable and targeted genome manipulation of pest insects for research and field release using recombinase mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) mechanisms. We successfully demonstrated the establishe...
متن کاملRecombinase mediated cassette exchange into genomic targets using an adenovirus vector
Recombinase mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) is a process in which site-specific recombinases exchange one gene cassette flanked by a pair of incompatible target sites for another cassette flanked by an identical pair of sites. Typically one cassette is present in the host genome, whereas the other gene cassette is introduced into the host cell by chemical or biological means. We show here tha...
متن کاملSite-specific integration of transgenes in soybean via recombinase-mediated DNA cassette exchange.
A targeting method to insert genes at a previously characterized genetic locus to make plant transformation and transgene expression predictable is highly desirable for plant biotechnology. We report the successful targeting of transgenes to predefined soybean (Glycine max) genome sites using the yeast FLP-FRT recombination system. First, a target DNA containing a pair of incompatible FRT sites...
متن کاملRecombinase-mediated cassette exchange provides a versatile platform for gene targeting: knockout of miR-31b.
A series of vectors has been designed to enhance the versatility of targeted homologous recombination. Recombinase-mediated cassette exchange permits sequential targeting at any locus and improves flexibility in making user-defined mutations. Application of RMCE to delete an intronic microRNA gene is described.
