In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv * pre-print server, a team of researchers demonstrated multiple site-directed mutagenesis as an efficient, easy, and more economically viable alternative to ...

A new study validates the application of duplex sequencing in detecting mutations caused by chemical carcinogens. Precision medicine has seen great strides in recent years, and in cancer care ...

Heat-resilient biofertilizers could help crops cope with rising temperatures but engineering them has been slow and uncertain ...

In a Perspective, Ronald Swanstrom and Raymond Schinazi argue that antiviral drugs that lead RNA viruses to produce genetic mutations so fast that they cannot remove deleterious ones – a strategy used ...

Scientists are finding new ways to improve the use of the CRISPR enzyme Cas9 and reduce the chances of off-target mutations in laboratory mice, according to new results. The findings will help ...

Alanine (Ala) scanning is a widely used mutagenesis approach in which residues in a target protein are systematically substituted for alanine at selected positions by site-directed mutagenesis, ...

This comprehensive book covers the underlying scientific principles, state of the art technologies and methodologies of plant mutagenesis. It covers historical development and commonly used ...

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled on the so-called new plant breeding techniques (NPBTs). It said crops obtained by mutagenesis are GMOs as the techniques and methods of mutagenesis alter ...
