Show abstract
Stable and consistent transgene expression is necessary to advance plant biotechnology. Stable expression can be achieved by incorporating enhancer-blocking insulators, which are cis-regulatory elements that reduce enhancer interference in gene expression, into transgene constructs. Sufficient insulators for plant use are not available, and their discovery has remained elusive. In this work, we computationally mined the compact genome of Utricularia gibba for insulator sequences and identified short (<1 kb) sequences with potential insulator activity. Based on in vivo tests, three of these effectively mitigate the ectopic transgene expression caused by the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S promoter and do so better than previously reported plant insulators. However, all sequences with apparent insulator activity also decrease the effectiveness of the CaMV 35S promoter, and thus may be more accurately classified as silencers. However, since the insulator effect is proportionately much higher than the silencing effect, these sequences are still useful for plant transformation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
