Transgenic Plants

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Epigenetics
  • Gene Regulation

Background:

  • Advances allow visualization of chromatin organization and dynamics.
  • Mechanisms linking chromatin structure to gene regulation remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a technology for manipulating chromatin architecture to control gene regulation.
  • To analyze de novo construction, epigenetic maintenance, and changes in chromatin architecture.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a human artificial chromosome vector for transgene manipulation.
  • Delivered engineered chromatin architectures into various cell lines (human, mouse, fish).
  • Established expressive and repressive architectures for human STAT3 in mouse embryonic stem cells and CHO cells.

Main Results:

  • Successfully established STAT3 expressive and repressive chromatin architectures.
  • Delivery of STAT3 within repressive architecture activated STAT3 in stem cells.
  • Observed associated changes in DNA methylation following STAT3 activation.

Conclusions:

  • This technology enables precise manipulation of single genes via specific chromatin architecture.
  • Potential applications include stem cell science and regenerative medicine.
  • Offers a new tool for studying gene regulation and epigenetic control.
