Looking ahead, he hopes to apply transposon-based systems to gene editing. Peters explained that many genetic diseases have single nucleotide errors in the DNA sequence.

Researchers from the Kind Group have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after ...

A new study has revealed that "junk DNA" descended from ancient viruses could play a key role in controlling genes.

“DNA damage in cells induces the expression of inflammatory genes,” the researchers wrote. “However, the mechanism by which cells initiate an innate immune response in the presence of DNA ...

University of Queensland researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. The research paper has been published in Cell Metabolism.

Sharing the motivation behind their study, Prof. Shinohara explains, “The mechanism by which Sae2 stimulates the MRX endonuclease and 3’-5’ exonuclease activities for DNA repair remains unknown.

In this case, the bacteria apparently sense when there is tetracycline in the environment and begin "a whole cascade" of production of a transposon containing the resistance gene, Vineis says.
