Advancing Mammalian cell culture Engineering using Genome-scale technologies
A concise review on the recent applications of transcription and proteome analysis in cell engineering.
(Griffin, T. et al. 2007. Trends Biotechnol, 25, 401-408)
Engineering Cell Metabolism for High Density Cell Culture via Manipulation of Sugar Transport
By empowering cells with the capability to utilize fructorse, lactate production is reduced.
(Wlaschin, K. et al. 2007. J. Biotechnol. 131, 168-176)
Comparative genomics of Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans
Comparative genomic hybridizations reveal differences between the chromosomes of S. coelicolor and S. lividans. Absence of certain large genomic islands in S. lividans identified appear to make it more suitable for cloning and protein secretion.
(Jayapal. K. et al. 2007. BMC Genomics. 8, 229)
Transcriptome dynamics based operon prediction and verification in Streptomyces Coelicolor
A compilation of global transcriptome data was used to build and verify a genome-scale operon map for Streptomyces coelicolor using a machine learning algorithm – support vector machines (SVM).
(Charaniya, S. et al. 2007. Nucl. Acids Res. 35 (21) 7222-7236)
Books on Cell Culture Engineering
Dr. Hu has recently collaborated on two books, Cell Culture Engineering and Cell Culture Technology for Pharmaceutical and Cellular Therapies, which were published in 2006.
