Purpose: Deletions of distal 9p are associated with trigonocephaly, mental retardation, dysmorphic facial features, cardiac anomalies, and abnormal genitalia. Previous studies identified a ...

Nine researchers from Utrecht have received funding in the 25th round of the NWO Open Competition ENW-XS. The grants (of up to 50,000 euros) are intended to enable small-scale, innovative and risky ...

BAC: bacterial artificial chromosome; rHSV: recombinant HSV; TCR: T-cell receptor; PD1: Programmed Cell Death Protein 1; CD40L: CD40 Ligand. Although promising, there are still some limitations to our ...

Researchers have uncovered a "selfish" X chromosome in the fruit fly Drosophila testacea that manages to distort inheritance ...

The genome structure—how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism—is fundamental to the processes and ...

Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria.

Building a chromosome from scratch may sound like science fiction, but scientists have actually done it-and made it work. In ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique ...

coli bacteria than has ever been done before. With the aid of the latest generation of sequencing technology, they studied the complete chromosomes and plasmids present in 2000 samples from ...

But now it seems they may have another factor to worry about: too much artificial light. “You have light pollution in urbanised areas where you may also have a nutrient pollution problem ...
