However, research progress into antiviral treatments and vaccines has been hindered by the absence of a robust reverse genetics system. Now, a team at the University of Osaka has successfully overcome ...

Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) have developed a reverse genetics system for ...

Blood cancer is an umbrella term for a variety of diseases that affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. Like most ...

Since its breakthrough development more than a decade ago, CRISPR has revolutionized DNA editing across a broad range of fields. Now scientists are applying the technology's immense potential to human ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

CRISPR promises revolutionary cures, but its edits aren’t always perfect. To tackle hidden risks, UC San Diego researchers developed the ICP system, which fingerprints genetic edits and shows how they ...

CU Boulder researcher Edward Chuong recently received an international award for his lab’s work studying transposons in the human genome Our genome, it turns out, is full of freeloaders—selfish ...

Reverse genetics systems allow the functions of genes to be determined by changing an individual gene and observing the result, creating what is known as a recombinant virus. They are powerful tools ...
