Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They exist in multicellular organisms. In mammals, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells isolated from the …
2020-08-05The cell line consists of a population of transformed cells with unlimited division capacity. This is usually due to immortality in the laboratory or due to the tumorigenic origin of the cell line derived from the patient or animal. Cell lines may be invaluable in research and hav…
2020-08-04Genes with sequence similarity to the yeast tRNA (His) guanosine transferase (Thg1) gene have been identified in all three domains of life. The Thg1 family of enzymes involves a variety of processes from tRNA (His) maturation to 5'end repair, such as knocking out cell lines. tRNA.…
2020-08-03Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast. It has been instrumental to winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes (one can see the yeast as a component of the thin white film on the skins of som…
2020-07-31Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common encapsulated, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause disease in plants and animals, including humans. A species of considerable medical importance, P. aeruginosa is a multidrug resistant pathogen recognized for its ubiquity, its intri…
2020-07-30Yeast is a eukaryotic single-celled microorganism classified as a member of the kingdom Fungi. The first yeast originated hundreds of millions of years ago, and 1,500 species have been identified. It is estimated that they account for 1% of all described fungal species. Most yeast…
2020-07-29Escherichia coli (also known as Escherichia coli) is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped coliform of Escherichia coli, usually found in the lower intestine (endothermic) of warm-blooded organisms. Most E. coli strains are harmless, but certain serotypes can cause se…
2020-07-28Gene knockout is defined as a mutation that inactivates gene function. This type of mutation is very beneficial for modern techniques and classical genetic studies, like functional genomics. Previously, the technique of transposition mutagenesis has been regularly used in knockout…
2020-07-27Lignocellulosic biomass is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and is the most abundant and renewable energy source on earth. The degradation of lignocellulosic biomass and the continuation of the carbon cycle in nature are mainly maintained by the action of m…
