[ad_1] Gene modification nucleases such as CRISPR / Cas9 can efficiently create double-stranded breaks at a target locus in the genome. Often, double-stranded breaks are subsequently repaired by non-homologous end-junction mechanisms, leading to insertions and deletions (indel). One strategy, called homology-directed repair (HDR), is used to obtain gene knock-in patterns …

[ad_1] Stanford researchers used millimeter-sized crystals from the 1959 eruption of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano to test models that offer insights into flow conditions before and during an eruption. By Danielle Torrent Tucker Scientists trying to figure out how and when volcanoes might erupt face a challenge: many of the processes …
