MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we treat hundreds of genetic diseases. By fine-tuning the tiny molecular “tools ...

ABSTRACT: The EXO70 gene is a very important component of the exocytosis complex, involving a series of biological processes including plant cell division and immune regulation. The Arabidopsis ...

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are common hormone-dependent tumors with a complex etiology involving both genetic and environmental factors. This study aimed to investigate, for the first time, the ...

There’s 99.9% similarity across human genomes, with the remaining 0.1% variation being what makes each person unique.1 In that tiny number, there is a tremendous amount of diversity, including in how ...
