CRISPR-Cas9 could have the potential to combat global coral bleaching events
Extensive studies have confirmed that the Great Barrier Reef in Australia has lost over 50% of its corals. In fact, due to constantly occurring global coral bleaching events since the 1980s which trigger two of the events in 2016 and 2017 each has resulted in the loss of over 27% of the world’s coral reefs […]
Sleeping disorder? The problem may be in your gene
According to the study published Thursday in the journal Cell researchers have found out that gene CRY1 is key to determining a person’s sleep or wake. We wake up in the morning and sleep at night this is our everyday chore but some people have an entirely opposite clock. While people think it is due to one’s own personal […]
Scientists Soon to Edit People’s DNA for Preventing Genetic Diseases
In a scientific and technological breakthrough, scientists have come up with a proposal of editing human’s genetic system for avoiding incurable heritable diseases. In this era, when people are expecting to get personalized babies anytime soon, the new experimental accomplishment has emerged as a wonder for the world. The study, mutually conducted by the researchers […]
Scientists to Restore the Yum in ‘Tomato’ By Tinkering With Its Genetic Formula
Over the past couple of decades, the commercially cultivated grocery tomatoes have lacked all most all of their flavors. If you take a bite of the tomatoes sold in supermarkets, you may sense like something is missing. While general people think it to be a common incident, but researchers have come up with a new […]
Antibiotics can provide a favorable atmosphere for bacteria instead of killing them
A new study in the medical science left the doctors and scientists in a shock stage when they realized that antibiotics can lead to the growth of the bacteria instead of killing or preventing our body. Scientists also stated that antibiotics can even help the bacteria to reproduce, which makes the bacteria stronger and more […]
Scientists Engineered “Semi-Synthetic” Bacteria with Six-Letter Genetic Code
In a medical breakthrough, a group of scientists successfully engineered new semi-synthetic bacteria that can pave revolutionary pathways for new life formation. By tinkering with genetic material, the scientists have succeeded in developing a new type of life with moderately synthetic DNA. The “Semi-Synthetic” Bacteria having Six-Letter Genetic Code is capable of forming and functioning […]
