This is a short presentation that describes the process of the CRISPR system and how it can be used for embryo gene editing. We pay tribute to the late, remarkable Jimmy Carter, who died today at age ...

Research from the Voigt lab at the Babraham Institute has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise ...

The gap gene network plays a crucial role during the development of the embryo’s head-to-tail axis. This “genetic positioning system” helps individual cells acquire the right fate in the ...

Scientists found that fruit fly embryos can develop through multiple genetic paths, not just one. This challenges traditional ideas.

During embryonic development, somatic cells maintain monoallelic expression of imprinted genes, but germ cells need to be imprinted to reflect the sex of the embryo. For example, if a paternally ...

Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the genome, researchers have now revealed their crucial role in early embryo development ... New Avenues for Gene Manipulation and Cell Plasticity Research ...

During early embryonic development, cellular signals dictate ... protein product containing both Dpp and GFP domains. This fusion gene was expressed in Dpp mutant flies (Figure 3; Teleman ...

Researchers use these spatially organized colonies to study gene expression and the role of cell density in embryo development. (4) Post-Implantation Embryo Models: Scientists differentiated PSCs ...

The gap gene network plays a crucial role during the development of the embryo's head-to-tail axis. This "genetic positioning system" helps individual cells acquire the right fate in the right ...

Second, it represents only a baby step toward the ultimate goal — eliminating terrible lethal genetic diseases from families through germ-line gene therapy ... a normal embryo (the parents ...

Can a single protein-encoding gene determine whether a vertebrate embryo develops normally? Yes, according to Osaka Metropolitan University researchers, who found that suppression of Pcdh8 is ...

The mammalian OGT gene is located on the X chromosome ... between less OGT activity and more severe effects on embryonic development. Their results showed that OGT played an important catalytic ...
