The authors generated mutant mice in which the RAG proteins could interact with and bind to DNA normally without initiating V(D)J recombination and assessed RAG protein binding, as well as the ...

Researchers have quantified one of the most important and hard-to-measure phenomena in molecular evolution: the effect of genetic recombination on a species' capacity of adaptation. UAB researchers ...

Hamza is a gaming enthusiast and a Writing Specialist from Pakistan. A firm believer in Keyboard/Mouse supremacy, he will play Tekken with WASD if you let him. He has been writing about games since ...

An analysis of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes finds that recombination of the virus is uncommon, but when it occurs, it is most often in the spike protein region, the area which allows the virus to ...

Analysis of hundreds of single-cell genomes from Yellowstone National Park shows bacterial species are less cohesive than previously thought.

Homologous recombination plays essential roles in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and collapsed replication forks. The fundamental reaction in homologous recombination is the exchange of ...

Since sister chromatids are identical to each other, recombination with a sister chromatid is expected, in most cases, to be a precise way for repairing DNA damage. Recombination between 2 different ...

Meiogenix, a biotechnology company harnessing targeted recombination for precision plant breeding, has relocated its U.S. headquarters to Research Triangle Park from Ithaca, New York. “Plant breeders ...
