Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by ...
US scientists have bioengineered the octopus pigment xanthommatin in bacteria, producing 1,000 times more material than traditional methods.
Science isn’t always serious. Sometimes researchers ask questions that seem silly at first, like why toast lands butter-side ...
A research team has successfully engineered a japonica rice variety using CRISPR/Cas9 to simultaneously optimize plant ...
Ozempic, MRI machines and flat screen televisions all emerged out of fundamental research decades earlier — the very types of ...
Collaborating researchers have made a breakthrough discovery regarding the intricate defense systems of bacteriophages (phages)—viruses that can specifically target harmful bacteria without harming ...
Australia trains more PhDs than ever before—10,000 a year—but offers few places for them to work. A system built on perverse ...
Advances in genome editing are transforming the treatment for rare genetic diseases, as seen in the case of seven-month-old ...
Using CRISPR gene-editing tools ... strains toward less effective chromosomal setups, Wang said. Future work examining the functional impact of chromosome design in other bacteria could even lead to ...
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 ...
