Arabidopsis thaliana Recombinants

January 26, 2022 0 Comments

Abstract The production and isolation of recombinant proteins are key steps in modern molecular biology. Expression vectors and platforms have been used for a variety of hosts, including both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. In basic plant research, Arabidopsis thaliana recombinant is the central model for which a large number of genetic and genomic resources are …

Vaccinia virus Recombinants

January 26, 2022 0 Comments

Description Recombinant vaccinia virus is produced by homologous recombination between a plasmid and viral DNA within infected cells. The gene of interest is inserted at a nonessential locus in vaccinia DNA or between two essential genes to minimize unstable recombinants. To aid in the recovery of the recombinant virus, plasmids have been generated that allow …

Plasmodium falciparum Recombinants

January 26, 2022 0 Comments

Bottom The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum recombinants survives pressures from the host’s immune system and antimalarial drugs by modifying its genome. Genetic recombination and nucleotide substitution are the two main mechanisms used by the parasite to generate genomic diversity. A better understanding of these mechanisms may provide important information for studying parasite evolution, immune …
