such as naturally occurring meganucleases, and the sequence-specific engineered zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) or TALENS. This article looks at these alternative gene-editing tools and how they compare to CRISPR.
How to Claim a Gene: Application of the Patent Disclosure Requirements to Genetic SequencesPrior to 1980, the only source of insulin for diabetics was the pancreas of animals, such as cows or pigs. While supply was not a problem, this source did carry the risk of infection and allergic ...
Prion-like low-complexity domains (PLCDs) have distinctive sequence grammars that determine their driving forces for phase separation. Here we uncover the physicochemical underpinnings of how evolutionarily conserved compositional biases influence the ph
CRISPR, short for CRISPR-Cas9, is a genome-editing tool that allows scientists to precisely cut and modify DNA sequences. It has revolutionized the study of genes, helped to enhance crops and improved health care. The gene-editing system was originally discovered inbacteria, where it limits inf...

Studies suggest that adiposity in childhood may reduce the risk of breast cancer in later life. The biological mechanism underlying this effect is unclear but is likely to be independent of body size in adulthood. Using a Mendelian randomization framewor
How are DNA sequences used in classification? How is DNA replication used in biotechnology? How is mitochondrial DNA used to study human evolution? How does the location of DNA in animal cells compare to DNA's location in plant cells?
public health INTRODUCTION Background and purpose During the years prior to the turn of the century, scientific and medical attention for genetic disorders was mainly focused on under- standing rare single-gene disorders, such as Huntington's disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and cystic fibrosis ...

Consequently, the fidelity of the DNA fragments immobilized to the microarray surface may be compromised. However, there are few studies where the majority of the gene sequences spotted on the microarrays were verified [5]. Kuo et al (2002) compared the data from two high-throughput DNA ...
