V(D)J recombination is a fundamental genetic mechanism that underpins the adaptive immune response in jawed vertebrates. This process orchestrates the rearrangement of variable (V), diversity (D) and ...
Genetic engineering in non-human primates has been challenged by the limitations of virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce 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 University ...
