In a recent study published in the Microorganisms journal, researchers in China reviewed the uses of bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC)-based genome editing techniques in herpesvirus research.

A powerful new approach for the precise, flexible modification of a broad class of chemical compounds called bicyclic aza-arenes—which are commonly used to build drug molecules—has been developed. The ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is widely used to edit the genome by studying genes of interest and modifying disease-associated genes. However, this process is associated with side effects including unwanted mutations ...

PHILADELPHIA— A new approach to the genetic engineering of cells promises significant improvements in speed, efficiency, and reduction in cellular toxicity compared to current methods. The approach ...

Researchers have opened a transformative chapter in agricultural biotechnology by unveiling virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) techniques for Solanaceous crops, a group that includes tomatoes, ...

Chemists have developed an efficient skeletal editing method for frequently used heteroaromatic structures. The technique could serve as a means to chemically modify biologically active compounds.

A recent study published in Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology analyzed the possibilities of genetically engineering cannabis to ensure consistency and targeting specifical cannabinoids. In ...
