UCI scientists make leap forward for genetic sequencing

Researchers at UCI have made a breakthrough in understanding the Taq enzyme, which is crucial for DNA sequencing. They found that Taq behaves unexpectedly, rejecting correct bases more frequently than expected. This discovery has significant implications for personalized medicine and the accuracy of sequenced genomes.

Barcoding long DNA quantifies CRISPR effects

Researchers at KAUST have developed an approach to detect rare gene mutations in a pool of cells, which is crucial for early cancer detection and evaluating CRISPR/Cas9 editing outcomes. The technique, called IDMseq, accurately detects single mutations and analyzes large DNA deletions with high accuracy and sensitivity.

Research sheds light on the mechanics of gene transcription

Researchers at Cornell University found that enzyme RNA polymerase II assembles at the site of an activated gene, regardless of its position. This challenges the traditional view of 'transcription factories' and provides new insights into the gene transcription mechanism.
