Paratransgenesis - Candidate Chassis for iGEM USP-Brazil 2017

<strong>Description</strong>: A selection of organisms of interest for paratransgenetic approaches, curated as part of the preparation of iGEM USP-Brazil for iGEM in 2017. For more information, check the project wiki: http://2017.igem.org/Team:USP-Brazil. <strong>Columns</strong>: <strong>organism: </strong>The species (or other taxon) of the candidate chassis to be engineered. <strong>DOI: </strong>The DOI identifier of the main reference regarding this chassis. <strong>relation with host</strong>: The ecological relation of the chassis with its host. <strong>host</strong>: The arthropod species in which the chassis can live. <strong>disease</strong>: The diseases that could be targeted by engineering this chassis. <strong>genetic amenability: </strong>Roughly, how amenable to genetic engineering the organism seems to be. <strong>evidence of horizontal transmission: </strong>Roughly, the degree of evidence on the chassis passing from adult organisms to each other. <strong>evidence of vertical transmission: </strong>Roughly, the degree of evidence on the chassis passing from adult organisms to their prole. <strong>stability in midgut (or targeted organ): </strong>Roughly, how stable the organism is in the arthropod host. Column names followed by <strong>"_<em>QID"</em></strong> hold the Wikidata IDs relative to that column.<br> <br> <strong>Google Sheets</strong>: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FvWnwvsSGo5YMpP_04FLK7TUCuKRZJg_fKemtU_XGXI/edit?usp=sharing <strong>Funding</strong>: The release of this curation effort and its integration to Wikidata was supported by grant #2019/26284-1 from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
