Scientists looked at multiple techniques used to measure the modified viruses deployed in some gene therapy research and treatments. One technique, known as SEC-MALS, was the most precise and accurate ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

In 2021, a technology developed at University of Michigan, called Seq-Scope, revolutionized the ability to map gene activity ...

A cell-free genomics approach silences cellular noise and reveals transcription drivers, improving our understanding of a ...

Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, have been a hot topic of conversation among researchers, producers, government agencies, and the general public for decades. GMOs are banned in some ...

Complexities like these make it challenging to develop broadly applicable gene therapies for these disorders. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying gene cargoes because of their superior gene segmentation flexibility and ...

Researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST and the Center for Genomic Integrity at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have announced an advance in cancer gene therapy. Their ...

Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

In a notable advancement, scientists have developed an efficient gene functional analysis method for peach seedlings, overcoming longstanding hurdles in genetic transformation. Utilizing a TRV-based ...
