With the GAL4/UAS system introduced so far, we have been able to genetically manipulate "which cells express what."The ...

Genetic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae underpins both the faithful repair of DNA damage and the generation of genetic diversity during meiosis. Central to this process is the repair of ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying gene cargoes because of their superior gene segmentation flexibility and ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

DNA repair is critical for cellular function and genomic stability across organisms. Yeast mating-type switching serves as an established model for studying DNA break repair and chromosome dynamics.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks ...

Researchers have for the first time directly visualised how two DNA molecules, despite their identical negative charges, zip together. This breakthrough, achieved using high-powered atomic force ...

In 1976, the prospect of genetic engineering research in local laboratories set off a historic debate among scientists and concerned citizens.

Researchers have identified SNI1/NSE5 as a cold-sensitive brake on class II meiotic crossovers in Arabidopsis, revealing how low temperature redirects genetic recombination toward chromosome ends.

Repetitive DNA and the D1 protein help matching fruit fly chromosomes recognize one another before eggs form.
