Chromosome segregation and site-specific recombination are central processes in bacterial cell division and genome maintenance. The orchestration of these events ensures that circular chromosomes are ...

Belgian researchers from VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology have developed a new toolbox of 16 different short DNA sequences that allow triggering ...

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities team has, for the first time, developed a new tool to predict and customize the rate of a specific kind of DNA editing called "site-specific recombination." The ...

When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

A comprehensive toolkit enables genome-wide, recombinase-independent mosaic analysis in Drosophila, permitting clonal analysis of pericentromeric genes, deficiency chromosomes, and interspecific ...

A team has developed a new tool to predict and customize the rate of DNA editing, paving the way for more personalized, efficient genetic and cell therapies for diseases such as diabetes and cancer. A ...
