When expression of more than one gene is required in cells, bicistronic or multicistronic
expression vectors have been used. Among various strategies employed to construct bicistronic …

Even though tightened building energy efficiency standards are implemented periodically in
many countries, existing buildings continually consume a momentous quota of the total …
