Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Researchers successfully use a nonviral, piggyBac transposon system to introduce a transgene into cynomolgus monkeys.

Ubiquitin marks proteins for degradation, whereby ubiquitin molecules can be combined in different types and numbers forming ...

The discovery of DsRed (and other Anthozoa fluorescent proteins of various hues) had a twofold impact on the fluorescent protein engineering community. First, there is now a relatively diverse ...

Fluorescent proteins have come along way since the discovery of GFP from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria in the early 1960s. Today, both natural and engineered fluorescent proteins come in a ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

1 This was the first example of a light-activated protein, which they called a photoprotein. I wanted to have a tool like this. I thought this would be wonderful. —Martin Chalfie, Columbia University ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) have developed the new UbiREAD technology to decode the various combinations of ubiquitin molecules – the ubiquitin code – which ...
