Gene editing extends lifespan in mouse model of prion disease

Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses base editing to make a single-letter change in DNA, reduced levels of the disease-causing prion protein in the […]

In the dark for 11 million years: How blind cavefish rewrote evolution

Small, colorless, and blind, amblyopsid cavefishes inhabit subterranean waters throughout the eastern United States. In a new study, Yale researchers reveal insights into just how these distinctive cave dwellers evolved — and provide a unique method for dating the underground ecosystems where they reside. In an analysis of the genomes of all known amblyopsid species, […]

Advancements in genomic research reveal alternative transcription initiation sites in thousands of soybean genes

Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA — that molecular blueprint for life — over 70 years ago. Today, scientists are still uncovering new ways to read it. In 2010, Jianxin Ma, a professor of agronomy, and his collaborators built the first reference genome for soybeans on the widely studied […]

Evolutionary study reveals the toxic reach of disease-causing bacteria across the Plant Kingdom

The capacity of bacteria to spread disease across the Plant Kingdom may be much more widespread than previously suspected, according to new analysis. John Innes Centre researchers took a comparative evolutionary approach, using the diversity of Pseudomonas syringae bacteria, to determine how this pathogen infects distantly related plants. In experiments, researchers in the team of […]

Florida cat sniffs out another new virus—and scientists are listening

Pepper, the pet cat who made headlines last year for his role in the discovery of the first jeilongvirus found in the U.S., is at it again. This time, his hunting prowess contributed to the identification of a new strain of orthoreovirus. John Lednicky, Ph.D., Pepper’s owner and a University of Florida College of Public […]

Cell’s ‘rubbish disposal’ could have one other position: Serving to neurons close to pores and skin sense the atmosphere

The standard job of the proteasome, the rubbish disposal of the cell, is to grind down proteins into smaller bits and recycle a few of these bits and components. That is nonetheless the case, for essentially the most half, however, Johns Hopkins Drugs researchers, finding out nerve cells grown within the lab and mice, say […]

New sunflower household tree reveals a number of origins of flower symmetry

The sunflower household tree revealed that flower symmetry developed a number of instances independently, a course of referred to as convergent evolution, among the many members of this massive plant household, in keeping with a brand new evaluation. The analysis group, led by a Penn State biologist, resolved extra of the finer branches of the […]

Could intensive farming raise risk of new pandemics?

Intensive livestock farming could raise the risk of new pandemics, researchers have warned. Industrialised farming is often thought to reduce the risk of zoonotic diseases (those transmitted from animals to humans) because of better control, biosecurity and separation of livestock. The new study, led by the University of Exeter, examines the effect of social and […]

Blood sausages and yak milk: Bronze Age cuisine of Mongolian nomads unveiled

Bronze cauldrons were used by the inhabitants of the Mongolian steppe around 2,700 years ago to process animal blood and milk. This is shown by a protein analysis of archaeological finds from this period. Scattered across the Eurasian steppe, archaeologists repeatedly come across metal cauldrons from the Bronze Age during excavations. However, it was previously […]

Genomic analysis could assist clarify most cancers resistance in Tasmanian devils

Over the previous 30 years, Australia’s Tasmanian satan inhabitants has been bothered with an infectious most cancers that has pushed the species to close extinction. The marsupials are extremely inclined to satan facial tumor illness, which is sort of at all times deadly to their species. The genomic interactions between the illness and its host […]

Flamingos don’t preen more than other waterbirds

Despite their famously fancy feathers, flamingos don’t spent more time preening than other waterbirds, new research shows. Scientists watched five of the world’s six flamingo species to see how they spend their time. While preening time varied, overall flamingos were roughly average compared to existing studies of other waterbirds. The researchers also examined time spent […]

Origin of chromosome 12 trisomy surge in human induced pluripotent stem cells

Trisomy 12 is the most common whole-chromosome abnormality in human pluripotent stem cells. Conventionally, this acquired aneuploidy is ascribed to a rare single-cell event followed by selective growth advantage. Instead, we show that trisomy 12 emerges simultaneously in a very high percentage of cells in critical transition passages. Mis-segregation and incorporation of chromosome 12 into […]

KPNA3 regulates histone locus body formation by modulating condensation and nuclear import of NPAT

The histone locus body (HLB) is a membraneless organelle that determines the transcription of replication-dependent histones. However, the mechanisms underlying the appropriate formation of the HLB in the nucleus but not in the cytoplasm remain unknown. HLB formation is dependent on the scaffold protein NPAT. We identify KPNA3 as a specific importin that drives the […]
