Japanese researchers used a nonviral piggyBac system to genetically modify cynomolgus monkeys, enabling more accurate disease ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

To streamline the workflow, increase throughput and reduce sample loss, Epicentre has developed Nextera ™ technology, a transposon-based method for preparing fragmented and tagged DNA libraries ...

This work is published in Nature Communications in the paper, “Non-viral generation of transgenic non-human primates via the piggyBac transposon system.” Although non-human primates are an ...

To defend their genomes, plants silence transposons by compacting the transposon-containing DNA, rendering it inaccessible to ...
