Oct. 28, 2024 — Using state-of-the-art technology, researchers have identified several specific steps needed for CRISPR to become active and perform its gene editing function. These preclinical ...

Over the next five years, University of Louisville researchers plan to expose about 1.5 million fish eggs to alcohol in hopes ...

Gene delivery is a process by which foreign DNA is transferred to host cells for applications such as genetic research or gene therapy. Gene delivery methods can be mechanical (e.g. microinjection ...

Gene silencing describes the epigenetic regulation of a gene, at the level of transcription or translation, to prevent gene expression. Mechanisms include DNA methylation, histone modification and ...

The onset of symptoms of Alzheimer's disease can occur and worsen quicker in people that also have an alcohol use disorder (AUD), a new study has revealed. According to the scientists based at ...

This is the first time researchers have used single cell transcriptomics—a method that analyzes gene expression within individual cells by sequencing their RNA—to compare changes associated ...

Animals that eat fruits will inevitably consume some that are a little past ripe, and a little more boozy – but for too long we have assumed this is rare and accidental, a team of ecologists argues in ...

CRISPR/Cas9 is a gene editing tool that has revolutionized biomedical research and led to the first FDA-approved CRISPR-based gene therapy. However, until now, the precise mechanism of exactly how ...

Here’s how it works. Scientists have discovered a gene variant that could make some parents more likely to have girls than boys. In the new study, researchers analyzed the genomes of around ...

Missouri abortion rights supporters hold a celebratory press conference outside the state Capitol after the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that Amendment 3 can remain on the ballot. Kacen Bayless ...

Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) have located a "tipsy" gene, which they believe causes those who carry it to metabolize alcohol more quickly than others do.
