Genomic modeling and design have the potential to transform synthetic biology research. However, researchers face bottlenecks due to insufficient tools that fail to support a deep understanding of the ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

A new gene-editing technique called PERT offers a potential single-tool solution for numerous genetic disorders caused by nonsense mutations. This method, described in Nature, instructs cells to read ...

In a study published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers have enhanced the genome editing capabilities of Obligate Mobile Element Guided Activity (OMEGA)-IscB, an endonuclease protein, through ...
