Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers have demonstrated that this marker -- N4-methylcytosine (4mC) ...

PHYTOMap revealed the intricate genetic plant landscape, which helped researchers better understand how cells and gene expression influence each other in three-dimensional space. Laura is an Assistant ...

Plant genetics deals with heredity in plants ... insertion leads to enhanced expression of an AAA ATPase encoding gene to give the mutant phenotype. Future genome editing in plants will mimic ...

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha - a 'living fossil'.

By altering the direction in which cells divide ... De Rybel's team (VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology) and the VIB Screening Core, together with the Department of Chemistry of the ...

In the plasmid, the researchers also included a gene for a fluorescent protein to identify the plasmid-bearing tissue. The team propagated the genetically transformed cells and eventually grew a new ...
