Nov. 22, 2024 — Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e ...
Oct. 28, 2024 — Using state-of-the-art technology, researchers have identified several specific steps needed for CRISPR to become active and perform its gene editing function. These preclinical ...
Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don't fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...
Mendel sometimes is referred to as the father of modern genetics; likewise, the patterns of inheritance for single-gene diseases are often described as Mendelian. According to Mendel's work, there are ...
Doing CRISPR gene editing while fetuses are in the womb could make it easier to treat inherited conditions, especially those affecting tissues such as the heart or muscles. Kiran Musunuru at the ...
Gene expression is the generation of a functional gene product from the information encoded by a gene, through the processes of transcription and translation. Gene products are often proteins ...
Gene therapy involves the introduction of new genes into cells, to restore or add gene expression, for the purpose of treating disease. Most commonly a mutated gene is replaced with DNA encoding a ...
