Aug. 13, 2021 The precise transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next is fundamental to life. Most of the time, this process unfolds with remarkable accuracy, but when it goes awry, ...
Apr. 12, 2021 Millions of small genetic variations make it hard to predict how a particular targeted mutation will affect desirable crop traits. Scientists have now deciphered the relationships between dozens of ...
Nov. 16, 2022 Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate -- causing potentially permanent genetic ...
Nov. 17, 2021 Investigators have employed mutant mice to study how the accumulation of genetic errors is managed during egg and sperm ...
Dec. 13, 2023 A previously mysterious small RNA molecule in mice is found to play a crucial role in gene expression, and may be the first identified member of a new class of regulatory ...
Sep. 15, 2023 Researchers have developed a novel genome editing technique known as NICER, which results in significantly fewer off-target mutations than CRISPR/Cas9 editing. The technique uses a different type of ...
Aug. 16, 2021 The antiviral agent incorporates RNA-like building blocks into the genome of the ...
July 21, 2022 Genetic mutations could be predicted before they occur using a new law of physics, according to a new ...
Aug. 30, 2022 Researchers have developed the first mouse model for a mitochondrial tRNALeu mutation, showing that the associated metabolic disorder results from faulty RNA ...
Sep. 19, 2022 If everything is to run smoothly in living cells, the genetic information must be correct. But unfortunately, errors in the DNA accumulate over time due to mutations. Land plants have developed a ...
