Abstract: Compositions and methods of capturing one or more nucleic acid molecules of a cell or subcellular compartment are described. In certain aspects, the compositions comprise a caged molecule comprising one or more photolinkers and an antisense oligonucleotide, which when uncaged hybridizes to a target nucleic acid molecule.

Abstract: A multi-axis hose connector is provided. The assembly comprises a first and second hose connector end secured to a first and second housing. The housings and the inner end of each connector end support a captive ball therein, where the captive balls form a first and second ball joint that permits the connector ends to freely swivel and pivot relative to one another. Between the ball joints is an elongated tube member having open ends and an open interior. The tube member secures to the captive balls and aligns with an open conduit therethrough, while each of the housings and connector ends include an open interior. The open interior of the tube member, captive balls, housings, and end connectors form a continuous conduit through which fluid flows, despite the angular position of the assembly. In this way, the assembly provides a unique hose connector with several degrees of freedom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel constitutive promoter of plant, particularly to a putative lipase promoter Lip3 derived from Arabidopsis, a method for isolating the same, a recombinant expression vector containing the same and a use of the same for improving traits of a farm product. The constitutive promoter of the present invention can be applied to induce a constitutive gene expression such as herbicide resistance gene and reporter gene, because it can express a foreign gene regardless of its expression site. In addition, it can be widely used to develop a transgenic plant improving its useful trait.

Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a method provides a circuit from a first customer location to a second customer location. The method includes selecting a path-starting node from a network of nodes, and selecting a path-ending node from the network of nodes. The path-starting node is connectable to the first customer location, and the path-ending node is connectable to the second customer location. The method also includes selecting at least one subset of files from a database containing a set of files. Each file of the set of files contains segment data pertaining to a segment that connects a pair of nodes within the network. Each of the at least one subset contains data pertaining to a path from the path-starting node to the path-ending node. If more than one subset of files is selected, selecting an optimal path corresponding to an optimal subset of files.
