By analyzing Escherichia coli (E. coli) genomes, researchers have shown that antimicrobial resistant bacteria and the genes ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

A tiny genetic tweak can make pigs completely resistant to classical swine fever, a major problem for farmers around the world. The same gene edit should also make cattle and sheep resistant to ...

A new study highlights both the promise and the limitations of gene editing, as a highly lethal form of avian influenza continues to spread around the world. By Emily Anthes Scientists have used the ...

On the 22nd of January, KAIST (represented by President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced that the joint research team led by Professors Seyun Kim, Gwangrog Lee, and Won-Ki Cho from the Department of ...

Chickens genetically modified to be impervious to bird flu may one day prevent the spread of the disease on farms, a study suggests. Just small tweaks to a single gene made chickens resistant to an ...

This month, the Cambodian government reported that two people there died of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or H5N1 bird flu, after being exposed to infected poultry. For people, the risk of ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the ...
