Genetically modified non-human animals comprising a humanized interleukin-15 (IL-15) gene. Cells, embryos, and non-human animals comprising a human IL-15 gene. Rodents that express humanized or human IL-15 protein.

The present disclosure relates to the genetically modified non-human animals that express a human or chimeric OX40, and methods of use thereof.

This disclosure relates to genetically modified rodent animals and rodent models of human diseases. More specifically, this disclosure relates to genetically modified rodents whose genome comprises a humanized Il1rl2 gene (coding for the IL1rl2 subunit of the IL-36R protein) and human IL-36α, β and γ ligand genes. The genetically modified rodents disclosed herein display enhanced skin and intestinal inflammation as a preclinical model of psoriasis and IBD, respectively, and serve as a rodent model of human DITRA disease.

This disclosure relates to genetically modified immunodeficient animals which express a human or chimeric (e.g., humanized) SIRPα and/or human or chimeric (e.g., humanized) CD47, and methods of use thereof.

Methods for modification of target nucleic acids. The method involves a construct in which guide RNA is covalently linked to donor RNA (fusion NA) to be introduced into the target nucleic acid by homologous recombination and is based on the introduction of a nuclease, e.g. CRISPR or TALEN, into the cell containing the target nucleic acid. The fusion NA may be introduced as a DNA vector.

The present invention provides polynucleotide vectors for high expression of heterologous genes. Some vectors further comprise novel transposons and transposases that further improve expression. Further disclosed are vectors that can be used in a gene transfer system for stably introducing nucleic acids into the DNA of a cell. The gene transfer systems can be used in methods, for example, gene expression, bioprocessing, gene therapy, insertional mutagenesis, or gene discovery

Provided herein are methods and compositions for high efficiency homologous repair-based gene editing. The methods and compositions of the subject invention can be useful in producing gene-edited livestock and improving human medicine.

The present invention provides genetically modified non-human animals which are deficient in at least one or more types of CD3 genes selected from the group consisting of endogenous CD3ε, CD3δ, and CD3γ in its genome and functionally express at least one or more types of human CD3 genes selected from the group consisting of human CD3ε, CD3δ, and CD3γ. In the genetically modified non-human animals of the present invention, mature T cell differentiation and production can take place, and immunocompetent cells including T cells can exert their functions. The genetically modified non-human animals of the present invention enable efficient evaluation and screening in the development of therapeutic agents and therapeutic methods that use human CD3-mediated targeted drugs.

The present invention provides PiggyBac transposase proteins, nucleic acids encoding the same, compositions comprising the same, kits comprising the same, non-human transgenic animals comprising the same, and methods of using the same.

The present disclosure relates to genetically modified non-human animals that express a human or chimeric (e.g., humanized) TNFR2, and methods of use thereof.
