Infectious diseases severely threaten public health and global biosafety. In addition to transmission through the air, pathogenic microorganisms have also been detected in environmental liquid samples, such as sewage water. ...
Genome editing, especially the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, holds immense promise in enhancing plant traits, primarily disease resistance, offering a more efficient alternative to traditional breeding.
The Populus genus, commonly known as poplars, cottonwoods, and aspens, consists of approximately 30 tree species native to the northern hemisphere. Because of their diverse usages in landscape, agriculture, bioenergy, and ...
The different cell types of the human gut develop from stem cells through a process of differentiation. Researchers from the Organoid group (Hubrecht Institute), together with researchers at the Princess Máxima Center and ...
Researchers from the University of Bergen (UiB) have uncovered that proteins use a common chemical label as a shield to protect them from degradation, which in turn affects motility and aging.
One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. UZH researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without significant side effects. ...
A team of researchers has developed a software tool called DANGER (Deleterious and ANticipatable Guides Evaluated by RNA-sequencing) analysis that provides a way for the safer design of genome editing in all organisms with ...
Plant migration and gene flow from genetically modified or invasive plant species to wild relatives is a major public and regulatory concern. To counteract potential spread, various strategies have been developed, ranging ...
For tens of thousands of years, evolution shaped tomatoes through natural mutations. Then, humans came along.
A Ph.D. researcher at the University of St Andrews studying microbes in the human gut has discovered a new molecule that acts as a "distress signal" when viruses are detected. The research is published in the journal Nature.
