New research will allow convenient investigation of human innate immune response to viral infections

Scienmag

(Boston)–Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) report the formation of human cells containing a green fluorescent protein or GFP (one of the most important proteins in biology and fluorescence imaging) genetically fused with two interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), namely Viperin and ISG15.

mRNA Synthesis: ManufacturingProcess of Modern Revolutionary Molecule

Roots Analysis

It transfers genetic information form to DNA to ribosomes, a specialized structure, or organelle, which decodes genetic information into a protein. With the help of genetic engineering, synthetic mRNAs can express proteins, as they structurally resemble a natural mRNA.

Rising Demand for DNA and Gene Cloning  Service Providers

Roots Analysis

Further, DNA contains some specific patterns of nucleic acid sequences, for instance, transcription factors as DNA binding sites for a regulatory protein, known as motifs. This has enabled several researchers to study genetic disorders more precisely and closely. There are many conflicts associated with reproductive cloning.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Gene editing tools such as zinc finger nucleases, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) nucleases have been heralded for their enormous potential to treat diseases and genetic disorders. Likewise, Lessard et al.
