For the first time, researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a genome-scale technology that makes it possible to reveal the role of genes and traits in plants previously hidden by functional redundancy.
Gene editing is a powerful method for both research and therapy. Since the advent of the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a quick and accurate tool for genome editing discovered in 2012, scientists have been working ...
RNA (ribonucleic acid) editing is an important process for maintaining essential functions of encoded proteins at the RNA level. Recent studies show that RNA editing is a widespread phenomenon that occurs in various land ...
Advances in genetic engineering have given rise to an era of foods—including genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene-edited foods—that promise to revolutionize the way we eat.
Genome editing is used to modify the genes of living organisms to elicit certain traits, such as climate-resilient crops or treating human disease at the genetic level. It has become increasingly popular in agriculture, medicine ...
A team led by Professor Virginijus Šikšnys from Vilnius University Life Sciences Center (VU LSC) determined the structure of TnpB using cryo-electron microscopy in collaboration with the group of Professor Guillermo Montoya ...
Researchers have used a highly precise genome-editing technology called base editing to make hundreds of direct edits to blood stem cells from patients' bone marrow.
A new approach to the genetic engineering of cells promises significant improvements in speed, efficiency, and reduction in cellular toxicity compared to current methods. The approach could also power the development of advanced ...
Gao Caixia's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a new genome editing technology that achieves efficient and precise targeted insertion of ...
A high-throughput single-cell single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technology known as iMiGseq has provided new insights into mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and offers a platform for assessing mtDNA editing strategies ...
