Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the ...

Bacteria steal DNA from silent viruses and use it like a memory bank. That memory helps them protect future generations.

Munich news, health insurance, technology, jobs and other topics for expatriates. The Eye Newspapers covers daily news and offers services for foreigners.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into ...

Among other functions, the NK cells (natural killers, a type of lymphocyte forming part of the immune system) have the capacity to detect and eliminate cancer cells. But in some cases they cannot ...

This new system will aid researchers in developing vaccines and in ... This self-helper virus is an inhibited version of ASFV ...

The genetic modification of the Natural Killer (NK) cells, lymphocytes forming part of the body’s immune system, would make it possible to retain their capacity of eliminating tumour cells in solid ...

Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), and the International Livestock ...

Then, using those, they tested both systems in stem cells. In general, the CRISPR/Cas9 system created more cuts in the DNA. That meant more of the target genes were edited, and it was more likely ...
