Featured article: Transcriptomic response of wolf spider, Pardosa pseudoannulata, to transgenic rice expressing Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab protein

Dr. Wang and Dr. Peng et al. investigated transcriptome responses of the 5th instar spiders fed on preys maintained on Bt- and non-Bt rice.

Dr. He and his colleagues present the discovery of a mutant transposase (Tn5-059) with a lowered GC insertion bias through protein engineering.
