Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

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 ...

Carlsberg has patented a method using digital PCR to identify specific nucleotide mutations in mutated genes. The process involves mutagenizing a pool of organisms, dividing them into sub-pools, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Heat-loving organisms live where the water is hot but the gene pool is shallow. Genetic analysis has shown that so-called thermophiles have fewer mutations in their protein-coding genes than do their ...
