The study reveals for the first time how the movement and duplication of segments of DNA known as transposons, is regulated. This prevents a genomic meltdown, and instead enables transposons to live ...
Mu and D108 are related, temperate, transposable coliphages with unusual modes of DNA replication (transposition) and virion DNA maturation. These double-stranded DNA genomes replicate ...
Scientists study a molecular machine that moves jumping genes in DNA, paving the way for a new gene editing tool beyond CRISPR-Cas9. (Nanowerk News) More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a ...
More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, revolutionizing the ability to edit genes and accelerating research into ...
