Discover the innovative TECHNO platform for full-length gene humanisation, enhancing models for human gene function.
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.
Non-protein-coding genes have been linked to a hereditary condition, retinitis pigmentosa, that causes progressive blindness.
Researchers at The University of Tokyo developed TECHNO, a two-step genome editing strategy that replaces entire mouse loci with human genomic DNA. The method integrates fragments over 200 kbp.
Thousands of new genes are hidden inside the “dark matter” of our genome. Previously thought to be noise left over from evolution, a new study found that some of these tiny DNA snippets can make ...
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most ...
Perhaps you’ve read in a biology textbook that humans have the same number of genes as C. elegans, a worm used in scientific research. Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex ...
Researchers have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in heart regeneration in zebrafish. In mice, this ...
