Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for enhanced editing of genomic DNA. For example, in some embodiments, a subject method is a method of editing genomic DNA of a eukaryotic cell and the method includes introducing into a eukaryotic cell a composition comprising: (a) a linearized non-homologous DNA composition and (b) a genome targeting composition (which includes a genome editing endonuclease, or a nucleic acid encoding the genome editing endonuclease). In some cases in which the genome editing endonuclease is a CRISPR/Cas endonuclease, the genome targeting composition can also include a corresponding CRISPR/Cas guide RNA.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for editing genomic DNA, the system comprising an asymmetric donor DNA template; and methods of editing genomic DNA involving use of an asymmetric donor DNA template. The present disclosure provides a system for editing genomic DNA, the system comprising a Cas9 polypeptide with reduced enzymatic activity; and methods of editing genomic DNA involving use of a Cas9 polypeptide with reduced enzymatic activity.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a silibinin nanoparticle comprising the compound silibinin and a hydrophilic polymer. Moreover, the silibinin nanoparticle is in form of spherical structure with a particle size of 50 to 200 nm. The present invention also discloses a use of the silibinin nanoparticle to suppress hepatitis C virus infection and a method of treating hepatitis C, by administering the silibinin nanoparticle to a subject in need.

Abstract: PVRL4 is a tumor marker that is highly expressed on the surfaces of many carcinomas. Disclosed herein are compositions and methods that provide impetus for using measles virus as an oncolytic agent against PVRL4+ carcinomas and use of PVRL4-binding agents to interfere with viral infection.

Abstract: A guidance control system is configured to control the positioning and spatial orientation of a digging implement mounted on a frame of an trenching machine for working a subsurface of earth to a desired trench profile. The position of a dynamic cutting edge of the digging implement is monitored and then controlled so that the sensed dynamic cutting edge position is equal substantially to the calculated dynamic cutting edge position. The guidance control system includes sensors, a processor, and accessible memory providing digital design information regarding the desired trench profile.
