Based on bacterial genes, the team identified a human protein ... Similarly, mice with a genetic knockout of the mouse equivalent of SELENBP1 had low levels of the protein and high levels of ...

These collections aspire to have a separate, labelled colony of mutant bacteria for every viable knockout mutant -- that is, the scientists inactivate every gene one by one, and save a sample of ...

Behold syn3.0, a synthetic bacterial genome that’s smaller ... without disturbing expression of the remaining genes. To deliberately knock out genetic function, the researchers inserted foreign ...

Based on bacterial genes, the team identified a human protein ... Similarly, mice with a genetic knockout of the mouse equivalent of SELENBP1 had low levels of the protein and high levels of ...

No cells of the adaptive immune system - key to attacking and destroying bacteria and other pathogens - develop in the absence of the gene Bcl11a. The result will help to understand the human ...

Transposons, or 'jumping genes' -- DNA segments that can move ... "If you could target the end, you're less likely to knock out something that the host wants, and then these ends, by various ...

Unfortunately, Vibrio natriegens doesn't have the sophisticated molecular tools that are available in a commonly used lab ...

Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order.
