By precisely editing the D3 gene, which regulates both plant height and tillering, researchers developed compact, high-tillering rice plants that maintain grain yield while showing enhanced resistance ...

After Intellia Therapeutics paused a pair of phase 3 trials for its CRISPR therapy in response to a liver safety signal, the ...

Science isn’t always serious. Sometimes researchers ask questions that seem silly at first, like why toast lands butter-side ...

The inaugural TCCI AI-Driven Science Symposium was held in San Francisco from Monday to Tuesday, bringing together three ...

A research team has successfully engineered a japonica rice variety using CRISPR/Cas9 to simultaneously optimize plant ...

Advances in genome editing are transforming the treatment for rare genetic diseases, as seen in the case of seven-month-old ...

The Centre for Molecular Biology, Central University of Jammu organized an expert talk by Prof Dr Raghuvir Ram Viswanatha from the Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, USA. The lecture, ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

urning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when it's ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new way to fine-tune genetic material. Their study, published in Nature ...

CRISPRgenee is a new method that combines gene silencing and cutting to improve loss-of-function studies in human cells. (Nanowerk News) The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the ...
