Figure 1: Expression of reporter gene constructs derived from the gcy-5, lim-6 and lsy-6 genes. One potential explanation for our observations is that the vector backbone may dictate the packaging ...

Researchers can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a so-called recombinant plasmid. This plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called ...

To investigate the impact of mitochondrial DNA, Ballinger and his colleagues looked for changes in metabolism and nuclear gene expression when they exchanged mitochondrial backgrounds of strains of ...
