A lot of effort has gone into finding ways to minimize or eliminate off-target edits. In a recent issue of Nature, ...

Around 25 million Americans have a rare genetic disease, and many of them struggle with not only a lack of effective treatments, but also a lack of good information about their disease. Clinicians may ...

Researchers from the Bakkers group at the Hubrecht Institute have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in ...

A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a gene on or off. Essentially, each type of protein that interacts with a gene ...

A new tool greatly improves scientists' ability to identify and study proteins that regulate gene activity in cells, according to research led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The technology ...

Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...

Within every muscle of every living species with a backbone, a protein called myosin tugs on a partner protein to generate a ...

Secreting proteins from cells into surrounding tissue, or into circulation, opens new treatment opportunities beyond ...

A new study offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. A new study led by Rice University's Peter Wolynes offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. The research ...

Trimming a section off a plant gene raised rice harvests up to 25% in new tests by University of Chicago scientists, with ...
