Site-specific recombinases enable efficient cutting and pasting of DNA at specific locations in the genome, where each recombinase recognizes one precise DNA sequence. Due to their ...

Membrane-derived particles cloaked in membrane fragments can deliver CRISPR genome editing tools to specific cells for complex genome engineering inside the body. Scientists in the lab of Nobel Prize ...

Unquestionably, we will emerge from this revolutionary period with modified views of components of cells and how they operate, but only, however, to await the emergence of the next revolutionary phase ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease. Your ...

The human genome is like a big ball of yarn, made up of 3 billion molecular units arranged in sequence and then wrapped up around itself. Within this ball of yarn are your genes, which are regions of ...

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...
