  • Publication number: 20160060639
    Abstract: Here we report the creation of a new positive-selection cloning vector dubbed pKILLIN, which overcomes all of the above pitfalls. The essence behind its high cloning efficiency is the extreme toxicity and small size of the toxic domain of killin, a recently discovered p53 target gene. Insertion inactivation of killin within the multiple cloning site via either blunt- or sticky-end ligation serves not only as a highly efficient cloning trap, but also may allow any cloned genes to be expressed as His-tagged fusion proteins for subsequent purification. Thus, pKILLIN is a versatile positive-selection vector ideal for cloning PCR products, making DNA libraries, as well as routine cloning and bacterial expression of genes.

  • Publication number: 20150212510
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing a feedback force includes a calculating unit and a force feedback displacement controller. The calculating unit receives relative position information of a first object and a second object and geometric information of the first object and the second object. If the first object and the second object are not in contact, the calculating unit calculates a force feedback value based on the relative position information and the geometric information. The force feedback displacement controller outputs a displacement command, and receives the force feedback value. The displacement command allows the first object to move with respect to the second object. The force feedback displacement controller includes a displacement unit that generates the displacement command based on an operation of a user, and a force feedback unit that provides a feedback force to the displacement unit based on the force feedback value.
