The Department of Justice awarded nearly $638,000 in federal grant money to UC San Diego to investigate the potential of microbial cells as DNA evidence at crimes scenes, it was announced Friday. The human body is covered in billions of bacterial and …
They developed a computerized way to measure DNA repair in thousands of human mammary epithelial cells before and after they're exposed to ionizing radiation. Microscopy images are acquired about every 30 mins over a span of up to two days, and the …
The basic idea is pretty simple. If they have the appropriate sequences, individual DNA molecules will pair up to form a double helix. If you coat one cell type with a short DNA sequence and then a second cell type with the sequence's partner, the two …
The CRISPR-Cas system, which is found in bacteria and archaea, protects bacteria from invaders such as viruses. It does this by creating small strands of RNA called CRISPR RNAs, which match DNA sequences specific to a given invader. When those …
On Sunday, Israel's Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon approved the use of administrative detention — indefinite incarceration without trial — for suspects in the killing of the infant Ali Saad Dawabsha and urged security services …
Defects in DNA can cause serious harm to an organism, including cell death or the development of cancer. Efficient repair mechanisms are therefore of vital importance. LMU chemist Professor Christian Ochsenfeld, Chair of Theoretical Chemistry at LMU …
Researchers at USC have developed a yeast model to study a gene mutation that disrupts the duplication of DNA, causing massive damage to a cell's chromosomes, while somehow allowing the cell to continue dividing. The result is a mess: Zombie cells that …
In cell division, nothing is as important as the precise replication of billions of genetic letters that make up DNA. Since this genomic integrity is so fundamental to survival, scientists had assumed that replication mechanisms operate the same way in …

Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, they showed that AG-haESCs carrying deletions in the differentially DNA methylated regions controlling two paternally repressed imprinted genes, H19 and Gtl2, led to a higher rate successful SC pup birth.
