background: phic31 integrase system provides a new platform in various felid of research, mainly in gene therapy and creation of transgenic animals. this system enables integration of exogenous dna into preferred locations in mammalian genomes, which results in robust, long-term expression of the integrated transgene.objectives: identification of a novel pseudo attp site.materials and methods: ...

In the last decade, there has been an increase in research on improving the ability of plants to remove environmental pollution. Genes from microbes, plants, and animals are being used successfully to enhance the ability of plants to tolerate, remove, and degrade pollutants. Through expression of specific bacterial genes in transgenic plants, the phytotoxic effects of nitroaromatic pollutants w...

Insects cause heavy damage to cultivated crop plants. Production of proteinaceous inhibitors that interfere with the digestive biochemistry of insect pests is one of the naturally occurring defence mechanisms in plants. These proteins include lectins, arcelins and inhibitors of alpha amylases and proteases of various larvae pests. Use of plant genes encoding effective inhibitors of major digest...

Over the past decade the advent of mouse transgenics has generated new perspectives on the study of cerebellar molecular mechanisms that are essential for eyeblink conditioning. However, it also appears that results from eyeblink conditioning experiments done in mice differ in some aspects from results previously obtained in other mammals. In this review article we will, based on studies using ...
