A new editorial paper was published in Oncoscience (Volume 10) on November 14, 2023, entitled, "Be mindful of potential pitfalls when using the Cre-LoxP system in cancer research." In this new ...

Cre-loxP, a powerful tool for preclinical cancer research, possesses intrinsic pitfalls that can alter result accuracy, according to an editorial paper in Oncoscience. Cancer and other diseases could ...

To discover the function of a gene researchers turn it off and observe the consequences. Often genes have multiple functions that differ depending on a tissue and age. Some genes are essential to ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems. The study, published online in Cell on August ...

Scientists of the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) led by Rui Benedito have developed a new genetic tool (iSuRe-Cre) that provides certainty in Cre-inducible genetic modifications, a ...

We have created a stable transgenic rag2-EGFP-mMyc zebrafish line that develops GFP-labeled T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), allowing visualization of the onset and spread of this disease.

Unlike many site-specific recombinases that require accessory proteins, the Cre recombinase itself organizes a synaptic complex to initiate the recombination reaction. A new study suggests how Cre ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed two new genome editing ...
