They have the potential to be “incredibly useful for genome engineering, especially in cases where you want to put in a very ... However, this potential isn’t always realized because there’s a ...

Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease—aortic valve stenosis—progresses differently in males and females. The research paves the way for treatments that can be tailored ...

Researchers found that a gene on the Y chromosome influences how aortic valve stenosis progresses differently in males and ...

“We didn't find any [chromosome loss] at all, which was surprising for us,” said Tsuchida. After investigating several factors that may explain this discrepancy, Tsuchida and his colleagues found a ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell ...
