Disinfectants induce oxidative damage in bacteria, but a single mutation triggers the expression of genes that help the ...

Genetic alterations may help mosquitoes adjust to climate change, shifting the distribution of mosquito-borne disease in a ...

Encasing CRISPR tools in oil droplets offers a fast-track approach to conducting extensive genetic screens in animals.

Researchers at Cellectis leveraged gene editing to create a CAR T cell that acts in an IF/THEN system. Traditional methods to develop CAR T cells that use the patient’s cells introduce challenges ...

Both Cas9 and Cas12a cleave DNA, but they differ in how they cut the molecule.

Genetic medicines could treat certain diseases, however, the current delivery systems available—viral vectors and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)—pose unique challenges for gene therapy applications. For ...

A single gene controls earwax and body odor, shaping one’s unique scent through microbes. In 2006, scientists identified the culprit: the ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 11 ( ABCC11) gene. 1 A ...

By using genetic material from two male mice, researchers successfully created pups that survived to adulthood, offering ...

Kent Kiehl and his research team regularly park their long, white trailer just outside the doors of maximum-security prisons across the US. Inside the vehicle sits the bulky body of a mobile MRI ...

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIO.B), a global leader in life science research and clinical diagnostics products, ...

Uniform protein labeling in intact tissues is a challenge. An approach that allows antibodies to seep within organs could ...

In the 20th century, animals such as mules and ligers that had parents of different species were considered biological flukes, but genetic sequencing is beginning to unravel the critical role of ...
