Summary: The CRISPR-Enhance SARS-CoV-2 detection kit has been designed to detect fragments of the Nucleocapsid (“N”) gene and Envelope gene (E) of SARS-CoV-2. An included third target is the human RNase P POP7 gene (“RP”) which serves as a control for the extraction of the clinical sample in the absence of a positive SARS-CoV-2 result.The entire reaction from RT-LAMP amplification to CRISPR-based detection of the target analytes can be performed in approximately one hour.The CRISPR-Enhance kit comprises of two steps. Step one is a reverse transcriptase loop-mediated amplification (RT-LAMP) where targeted SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA is reverse transcribed to DNA, and this DNA is amplified by a strand-displacing DNA polymerase. Step two is the transcription of the amplified DNA to activate the collateral cleavage activity of a CRISPR complex programmed to the target RNA sequence. This collateral activity results in cleavage of nucleic acid reporters, resulting in a visual readout using a paper strip in appoximately 2 mins.

Summary: AbstractLying about personal qualifications for a job or in college admissions is common and has recently become a high profile issue. In this paper, we explore the decision to misrepresent one’s self and subsequently determine whether honesty oaths impact truthful reporting of a personal characteristic. To do this, we execute a field experiment on Amazon MTurk using a self-reporting task involving worker eye color. We provide empirical evidence that honesty oaths elicit more truthful behavior, primarily impacting “extreme” lies. Oath-taking decreased the cost associated with misreporting personal characteristics by 70%. Oaths marginally decrease shirking.

Summary: The next step in developing the ARF-AID system is to tag the gene of interest with AID. The ARF-AID system requires full-length AID (Figure 1) because the characterized interaction domains of AID with ARF are domains III and IV. Domains I and II are involved in the interaction with TIR1. The mini-AID lacks domains III and IV and will not interact with ARF to stabilize the protein in the absence of auxin (Sathyan et al., 2019). Note that the antibiotic selection marker (HygroR) is co-transcribed with AID and the protein products are separated during translation. Therefore, the resistance marker will be expressed at levels comparable to the target protein.

Summary: The NEBExpress MBP Fusion and Purification System takes advantage of the strong Ptac promoter and the translation initiation signals of maltose binding protein (MBP) to enhance solubility and expression levels of a desired protein inE. coli. The resulting product is an MBP fusion protein, which is then purified by affinity chromatography.ReliableE. coli expression: substantial yields (up to 100 mg/L)Fusion to MBP has been shown to enhance the solubility of proteins expressed inE. coli(1)Two-step purification: amylose elution followed by TEV Protease cleavage and Ni resin isolation results in a highly pure tag-free target proteinGentle elution with maltose; no detergents or harsh denaturants required

Summary: Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenses (LPMOs) are enzymes that play a critical role in breaking the chemical bonds of the most abundant polymers found in recalcitrant biomass, such as cellulose and chitin. LyGo cloning (Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase Golden Gate cloning) is a versatile heterologous expression platform for LPMOs, which is compatible with cloning both PCR products and synthetic gene fragments with a simple 15-minute assembly step. The method allows for parallel construction of multiple expression vectors, enabling exploration of several expression strategies. The open-source LyGo collection consists of vectors for some of the most relevant model organisms used for protein production in both academic and industrial settings.This protocol describes how to clone LyGo fragments into LyGo vectors.

Summary: Product description and procedure summary:If your target cells are the labeled cells (the positive fraction), use the Streptavidin Nanobeads Protocol – Positive Selection. If your target cells are the unlabeled cells (negative fraction), use the Streptavidin Nanobeads Protocol - Negative Selection.
Target cells are isolated by incubating your sample with a Biotin-conjugated antibody or antibody cocktail, followed by incubation with magnetic Streptavidin Nanobeads (Cat. No. 480015/480016). The magnetically labeled fraction is retained by the use of a magnetic separator. The untouched cells are collected. These are the cells of interest; do not discard the liquid. Some of the downstream applications include functional assays, gene expression, phenotypic characterization, etc.Note: This procedure is optimized for the isolation of 107 to 2 x 108 cells per tube. If working with fewer than 107 cells, keep volumes as indicated for 107 cells. For best results, optimize the conditions to your specific cell number and tissue. Prepare fresh MojoSort™ Buffer solution by diluting the 5X concentrate with sterile distilled water.
Scale up volumes if using 14 mL tubes and Magnet, and place the tube in the magnet for 10 minutes.
