CRISPECTOR: Quantifying Genome Editing Errors

Scientists from IDC Herzliya and also Bar-Ilan University establish a unique software device to evaluate possible CRISPR induced errors.Evaluation of CRISPR Genome Editing: Tool Quantifies Potential Hereditary MistakesCRISPR modern technology permits researchers to edit genomes by modifying DNA series and hence changing gene features. Its many possible applications consist of fixing congenital diseases, dealing...

Dominant Bacteria Drive Soil Carbon Usage

Bacterial “miners” shown in relief working to process soil nutrients, some more efficiently than others. Bradyrhizobium, one of the three top nutrient processors identified in the study, is shown here consolidating its control of carbon from a glucose addition, processing the nutrients with industrial efficiency (in the form of a bucket wheel excavator).

Russian Scientists Investigate the Immune Response to COVID

Russian Scientists Investigate the Immune Response to COVID Variations (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Trace, Kappa and Lambda)The continuing development of new SARS-CoV-2 anomalies allows the virus to spread more effectively and also avert antibodies. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether brand-new strains can escape T-cell immunity - one of the body's...

The Evolution of Proteins: A Journey Through 3.8 Billion Years

Research by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés and Fayez Aziz, University of Illinois, reveals a “big bang” during evolution of protein subunits known as domains. The team looked for protein relationships and domain recruitment into proteins over 3.8 billion years across all taxonomic units. Their results could have implications for vaccine development and disease management. Credit: Fred...
