In what case do you like reading so much? What about the type of the beautiful teams inspiring and cautionary tales from veteran team leaders book? The needs to read? Well, everybody has their own reason why should read some books. Mostly, it will relate to their necessity to get knowledge from the book and want to read just to get entertainment. Novels, story book, and other entertaining books...

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are secreted by plant-pathogenic Xanthomonas bacteria into plant cells where they act as transcriptional activators and, hence, are major drivers in reprogramming the plant for the benefit of the pathogen. TALEs possess a highly repetitive DNA-binding domain of typically 34 amino acid (AA) tandem repeats, where AA 12 and 13, termed repeat variable ...

Development of underwater vehicles (UVs) has come to an era that UVs can be specifically designed and made for customized applications, based on established theories and principles. This paper reports on the Canterbury UV developed at the University of Canterbury, which targets to inspect and clean sea chests of ships to eliminate bio-security risks caused by small organisms residing in the sea...

Once upon a time in faraway places, stories were told around campfires and hearths among family and friends. Eventually these oral stories were written down and some were illustrated. Two of the best-known names in written folk literature are the Frenchman Charles Perrault and the Grimm Brothers of Germany. In 1697 Perrault published a collection entitled Tales of Mother Goose, and from 1812 to...

Plant-pathogenic Xanthomonas bacteria inject transcription activator-like effector proteins (TALEs) into host cells to specifically induce transcription of plant genes and enhance susceptibility. Although the DNA-binding mode is well-understood it is still ambiguous how TALEs initiate transcription and whether additional promoter elements are needed to support this. To systematically dissect pr...

Recombinant transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) have been effectively used for genome editing and gene regulation applications. Due to their remarkable modularity, TALEs can be tailored to specifically target almost any user-defined DNA sequences. Here, we introduce fairyTALE, a liquid phase high-throughput TALE synthesis platform capable of producing TALE-nucleases, activators, and ...
