Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...
There are many health problems that can be traced back to errors in the genetic code. There are also many potential benefits to genetic engineering outside of healthcare. Nature has already found ways ...
Researchers studying a DNA-cutting enzyme with a crucial role in regulating the structure of genes have discovered a broad role for its cutting activity in driving abnormal genetic rearrangements ...
The origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains unresolved. In a non-peer-reviewed preprint published on bioRxiv on Oct. 20, 2022 three authors present analyses that, according to their interpretation, suggest a ...
Mek & Tosj on Monday released a new version (2.0) of EnzymeX, a Mac OS X-only program designed to assist molecular biologists in their work with restriction enzymes. The new version touts over 50 new ...
Figure 1. ANKLE1 senses mechanical tension in DNA and helps resolve DNA bridges connecting separating daughter nuclei. ANKLE1 (green) localises to the midbody (red) during cell division. In cells ...

New gene-editing method targets cancer DNA while sparing healthy cells
Most gene-editing tools cut DNA wherever they’re pointed, with no way to tell a tumor cell from a healthy one. A study ...

New CRISPR variant cuts tumor DNA while sparing healthy cells
Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a ...
CRISPR—Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—is the microbial world’s answer to adaptive immunity. Bacteria don’t generate antibodies when they are invaded by a pathogen and then ...
