Cy5 amine (non-sulfonated): Labeling Guide
2026-09-24
Cy5 amine (non-sulfonated) provides a primary amine for coupling the red/far-red fluorophore to suitable activated groups when a water-insoluble dye is appropriate.

dhcr7 Knockout Grass Carp Shows GCRV Resistance
2026-09-23
A 2026 Aquaculture Reports study used CRISPR/Cas9 to disrupt dhcr7 in grass carp and found approximately 40% higher survival after GCRV-II challenge, together with stronger antiviral responses and less hepatopancreas damage. The work provides in vivo evidence that a cholesterol-biosynthesis enzyme can influence antiviral defense without compromising growth or muscle morphology, identifying dhcr7 as a candidate target for disease-resistant aquaculture breeding.
