Mammalian cells are tricky evolution hosts. They grow slowly, contain large genomes, and regulate protein behavior through ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, identified a single amino acid change in a key immune ... the researchers speculate that it may also have been tied to benefits during human ...

PROTEUS, a system designed to harness “directed evolution,” can speed the process up by years, or even decades.

They have succeeded in reconstructing the evolution of cell clones, i.e., cell clusters derived from a single cell, in the human organism. SCIFER can detect aggressively growing clones at an early ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer-promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain features and provides a road map to discover many more.

CAST systems aren’t found in humans, and when used in human cell cultures they produce a successful DNA insertion only 0.1% of the time—far too low for gene therapy purposes.
