Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target ...

Carlsberg has developed a method using digital PCR to identify specific nucleotide mutations in mutated genes. The process involves random mutagenesis, dividing organisms into sub-pools, PCR ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and the National University Health System (NUHS), together with an international team ...

"Microgravity pushed evolution into corners of the phage we still don't fully understand" ...

In a major advance, researchers have successfully corrected genetic mutations in neurons with a single injection into the brains of a mouse model. This technique did not completely reverse the disease ...

A collection of over 40,000 trees in rural Utah is the world’s largest single organism, having all descended from a single seedling. But that’s not all: According to a team of researchers, the ...

Picture of a tomato plant with an unfavorable natural mutation (on the left) and a tomato plant in with the mutation was repaired by genome editing (on the right). The repair of the mutation leads to ...

Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...

ANN ARBOR—For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ...

Duke-NUS and NUHS scientists uncover a complex web of genetic, age-related and microbial factors that increase the risk of stomach cancer.Age-related blood cell mutations may trigger early changes in ...
