Novel precision genetic technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology offer novel avenues to a better understanding the mechanisms of diseases. Using CRISPR/Cas9 we are able to p...
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the major staple food crops grown in over 140 countries in the subtropics and tropics with annual global production of around 148 million metric, feeding about 50...
Over the last decade, the policy and regulatory trajectory of genomic and reproductive technologies has been a checkered one. Approaches around the world range from constitutional and crimina...
CRISPR based gene editing has proven to be an incredibly powerful tool for studying functions of individual proteins, understanding the role of multi-gene pathways, and even knocking out prot...
While CRISPR-Cas9 has dominated the science headlines in recent years, there has been a broad social and moral consensus that it is too soon to move to clinical use of genome editing in human...
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) RNA and CRISPR-associated genes (Cas) assemble into RNA-guided surveillance complex that targets foreign nucleic acids for d...
CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing is a powerful tool which can induce heritable mutations at desired genomic loci without leaving transgenic trace in plants. Here we constructed a robust, multip...
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become very popular in the last 5 years and has profoundly changed our way to do genetically engineered animals. I will present the latest development in genome edi...
First discovered as a genome-editing tool just seven years ago, CRISPR systems have already changed the face of basic research, allowing researchers to alter the DNA of hundreds of organisms...
Insects are the largest and most diverse arthropod group. Many insect species are agricultural pests or vectors of numerous diseases. In fact, the mosquito is the deadliest animal on the eart...

The active shaping of biological membranes is essential for a variety of cellular functions including but not limited to cell migration, cell division, organelle morphology, and cell and memb...
The ability to discern spatial gene expression differences in complex biological systems is critical to our understanding of developmental biology and the progression of disease. However, the...
Early detection is critical for improved survival in melanoma. Melanocytic nevi are extremely common benign tumors that mimic melanoma and are therefore commonly biopsied. Currently, the dete...
