Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

Gene silencing is a negative feedback mechanism that regulates gene expression to define cell fate and also regulates metabolism and gene expression throughout the life of an organism. In plants, gene ...

After way too many hostless or less-than-perfectly hosted Hollywood awards shows over the last few years, Conan O’Brien’s opener as emcee of the 2025 Oscars represented an extremely welcome ...

Rather than being famous only in the gene editing field, by revealing the collateral cleavage activity of Cas12a, Cas13a, and Cas14 effectors, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats ...

A recent review published in the journal Engineering delves into the significant advancements and potential of CRISPR technologies in the field of regenerative medicine. The study, authored by ...

Suffering on such an immense scale can appear hopeless. However, a technique called CRISPR gene editing promises to help deal with these issues and many more—and wise regulation can spur it on.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) technologies have evolved rapidly over the past decade with the continuous discovery of new Cas systems ...

This month's cover highlights the article Immune cells adapt to confined environments in vivo to optimise nuclear plasticity for migration by Helen Weavers and Tua Karling. The cover features confocal ...
