1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The feasibility of using technologies based on site-specific recombination in actinomycetes was shown several years ago. Despite their huge potential, these technologies mostly have been used for simple marker removal from a chromosome. In this paper, we present different site-specific recombination strategies for genome engineering in several actinomycetes belonging to the genera Streptomyces, Micromonospora, and Saccharothrix. Two different systems based on Cre/loxP and Dre/rox have been utilized for numerous applications. The activity of the Cre recombinase on the heterospecific loxLE and loxRE sites was similar to its activity on wild-type loxP sites. Moreover, an apramycin resistance marker flanked by the loxLERE sites was eliminated from the Streptomyces coelicolor M145 genome at a surprisingly high frequency (80%) compared to other bacteria. A synthetic gene encoding the Dre recombinase was constructed and successfully expressed in actinomycetes. We developed a marker-free expression method based on the combination of phage integration systems and site-specific recombinases. The Cre recombinase has been used in the deletion of huge genomic regions, including the phenalinolactone, monensin, and lipomycin biosynthetic gene clusters from Streptomyces sp. strain Tü6071, Streptomyces cinnamonensis A519, and Streptomyces aureofaciens Tü117, respectively. Finally, we also demonstrated the site-specific integration of plasmid and cosmid DNA into the chromosome of actinomycetes catalyzed by the Cre recombinase. We anticipate that the strategies presented here will be used extensively to study the genetics of actinomycetes.
