The homeobox genes are known to play a crucial role in controlling the development of multicellular organisms. The majority of these genes have been determined to express regulatory proteins act as a regulatory protein. These trans-acting factors regulate the expression of proteins that are necessary during the developmental processes throughout the body. TGIFLX/Y is a homeobox gene and it cont...

Aeromonas hydrophila is a gram-negative bacterium which associated with gastrointestinal diseases and septicaemia. This pathogenic bacterium has several virulence factors ranging from pili to the excreted protein which called (Aerolysin) with minor and major effects, respectively. Additionally, Aeromonas hydrophila is a widely distributed bacterium that commonly causes ulcers in cyprinid fish s...

Designing appropriate expression vectors is one of the critical steps in the generation of stable cell lines for recombinant protein production. Conventional expression vectors are severely affected by the chromatin environment surrounding their integration site into the host genome, resulting in low expression levels and transgene silencing. In the past, a new generation of expression vectors ...

Increasing interest in recombinant protein technologies for human and animal health applications has spotlighted microalgae as a platform with the potential to meet a large impending demand. Here we describe an algae protein expression system and compare the advantages and disadvantages to other platforms currently operating on a commercial level. High-value recombinant proteins that have been ...

erated by introducing foreign genes into the nuclear genome. Here we focus on plastid transformation as an alternative. Plastids have their own rudimentary genome, the plastome, which encodes around 120 genes [1]. Plastids in green tissues are “chloroplasts”, whose primary function is photosynthesis. In contrast to the nuclear genome with typically two copies of each gene per cell, the plastome...
