A team of researchers at the Carl Gustav Carus Faculty of Medicine, University of Technology Dresden, led by Prof. Frank Buchholz, has achieved a major breakthrough in genome editing technology.

Site-specific recombinases enable efficient cutting and pasting of DNA at specific locations in the genome, where each recombinase recognizes one precise DNA sequence. Due to their ...

The "Genetic Engineering Tool Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2021-2031" has been ...

Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

Unquestionably, we will emerge from this revolutionary period with modified views of components of cells and how they operate, but only, however, to await the emergence of the next revolutionary phase ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

New research had the goal of reducing the time and cost it takes to bring an improved crop to the marketplace to improve agriculture sustainability. With the goal of reducing the time and cost it ...

Delivering genome editing machinery into plant cells remains a challenge despite the dire need for high yield crops with enhanced nutritional value that are resistant to disease and resilient in the ...

The human genome is like a big ball of yarn, made up of 3 billion molecular units arranged in sequence and then wrapped up around itself. Within this ball of yarn are your genes, which are regions of ...
