Transcriptome analysis of yellow horn (Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge): a potential oil-rich seed tree for biodiesel in China.

BACKGROUND: Yellow horn (Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge) is an oil-rich seed shrub that grows well in cold, barren environments and has great potential for biodiesel production in China.However, the limited genetic data means that little information about the key genes involved in oil biosynthesis is available, which limits further improvement of thi

Engineering PTEN-L for Cell-Mediated Delivery

The tumor suppressor PTEN is frequently inactivated in glioblastoma.PTEN-L is a long form of PTEN produced by translation from an alternate upstream start codon.Unlike PTEN, PTEN-L has a signal sequence and a tract of six arginine residues that allow PTEN-L to be secreted from cells and be taken up by neighboring cells.This suggests that PTEN-L cou
