Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...
Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics are increasingly recognised as playing a pivotal role in the advancement of personalised medicine, especially in the ...
The study of the human microbiome has revealed a vital role in the emergence, persistence, and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), largely ...
When two homozygous plant lines with different characteristics are crossed, the resulting offspring are often more robust and productive than their parents. This phenomenon is called heterosis. It can ...
A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...
ABSTRACT: The EXO70 gene is a very important component of the exocytosis complex, involving a series of biological processes including plant cell division and immune regulation. The Arabidopsis ...
Our bodies follow a natural 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm that influences everything from sleep to metabolism. While scientists have long known that certain core circadian clock genes ...
A Chinese scientist horrified the world in 2018 when he revealed he had secretly engineered the birth of the world's first gene-edited babies. His work was reviled as reckless and unethical because, ...
Andrea Califano, PhD, professor of chemical and systems biology at Columbia University, encourages an artificial intelligence (AI) approach to cancer immunotherapy, where AI models predict the genes ...
For the first time, doctors have treated a baby born with a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder with a gene-editing therapy scientists tailored to specifically repair his unique mutation. The baby ...
Base editors can correct disease-causing genetic variants. After a neonate had received a diagnosis of severe carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency, a disease with an estimated 50% mortality in ...
