“How many different cell types are there in the human body? And how do these differences develop? Nobody really knows,” says Professor Stein Aerts from KU Leuven/VIB. But thanks to a new method developed by his team, that may be about to change.

By developing a symbiotic relationship with fungi, plants not only become more tolerant to diseases but can also help contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices.

Collaboration will offer the SureVector cloning system for next-generation cloning.

Rutgers scientists have found an efficient way to enhance the nutritional value of corn – the world’s largest commodity crop – by inserting a bacterial gene that causes it to produce a key nutrient called methionine.

Synpromics was nominated on the strength of being the leader in gene control, improving human health by enabling safer, more effective cell and gene medicines through proprietary genomics, bioinformatics and intelligent data-driven design.

Study identifies potential targets for treatment of triple negative breast cancer, the most aggressive form of breast cancer.

The catalytic activity of the fly enzyme Trr and mammalian enzyme MLL3/MLL4 — members of the COMPASS family of proteins central to gene expression — is not required for proper development and viability in flies or gene expression in mammalian cells.

Researchers have found that in the model organism E. coli, the fidelity of transcribing DNA comes at the expense of DNA repair.

The report, which may lead to new ways of understanding genetic diseases, appears on the cover of Cell.
