How Gene Silencing Works in PlantsThe group of Doctor Myriam Calonje Macaya have recently published a study in Genome Biology that means an advance in the knowledge of epigenetic regulation by means of Polycomb-group proteins in plants.University of Seville...
No one knows how long it will take to find permanent solutions to hair loss, but these forays into gene therapy are an important step. Since that 1998 announcement, scientists have discovered more about how hair loss works, how it's inherited and how genes and stem cells can be manipulated...
Last month saw the first-ever approval of a gene therapy that uses the CRISPR–Cas9 gene-editing tool, a treatment for the blood conditions sickle-cell disease and β-thalassaemia that works by precisely cutting out a faulty gene in people’s stem cells....
Currently, gene therapies mainly use a technique called "somatic editing." This applies to Casgevy, for example. Somatic editing works by targeting a subset of non-sex cells in the body and thus doesn't pass any alterations down to additional generations. "The benefit clearly outweighs any hy...
Point mutations are the most common type of gene mutation. Also called a base-pair substitution, this type of mutation changes a single nucleotide base pair. Point mutations can be categorized into three types: Silent Mutation:Although a change in the DNA sequence occurs, this type of mutation...
If everyone else is starting meme companies, and you want to start a gene-editing company, then do that and don’t second guess it.如果其他人都在创办模因公司,而你想创办一家基因编辑公司,那就去做吧,不要再猜测了。 Follow your curiosity. Things that seem exciting to you will often seem exc...
(PhysOrg.com) -- A gene linked to greater height and later puberty in large population studies shows a true biological effect, according to a new study from Children's Hospital Boston that finds mice with this variant are larger and have delayed sexual m
Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, and "machine learning" capabilities help reduce these challenges while increasing efficiencies. AI plays a key role in biotech by pushing innovations in gene editing, gene therapy, and billing and payments. AI capabilities can help professionals make more accurate decisi...
Analyzing the data is a critical step in the CRISPR gene editing workflow, but there have traditionally been few analysis options to help researchers who perform CRISPR experiments with analysis. Synthego’s ICE (short for Inference of CRISPR Edits) tool makes analyzing CRISPR knockouts and knock...
