As a postdoc, Komor found a way to achieve gene-editing with higher efficiencies and a lower incidence of indels by avoiding ...

A change to a single gene in the bacterium Yersinia pestis has enabled one of the world’s most notorious pathogens to survive ...

The authors created a useful collection of Rep protein variants with changes that alter the amino acid sequence, but these did not lead to clear improvements in how the virus worked. Instead, their ...

THIS Actor revealed he was initially considered for the role of Bhanwar Singh Shekawat in Pushpa before it eventually went to ...

Broad Institute researchers have developed a way to edit the genetic sequences at the root of Huntington's disease and ...

The biotech, which has for years invested in genetics research, plans to acquire "substantially all" of testing firm ...

The researchers described the unprecedented speed of the oversight steps as being "through alternative procedures." In month five, they started toxicology testing in mice. In the mice, the ...

Some plants have evolved a surprising strategy to attract pollinators—not with sweet fragrances, but with the stench of rotting flesh and dung. Researchers have discovered that certain flowering ...

The inclusion of synonymous mutations in pegRNAs allowed the researchers to examine their impact on editing efficiency. Both base editors achieved 95–97% editing efficiency in MCF10A cells ...

Synonymous mutations are linked with changes in amino acids that are encoded by multiple codons. 9 Cell divisions are of two types: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells ...
