This article examines viral and non-viral vectors in gene therapy, highlighting their mechanisms, advantages, and limitations ...

Researchers can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a so-called recombinant plasmid. This plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called ...

DNA study cracks centuries-old mystery over origin of languages spoken by half the world - Indo-European languages traced to population living in steppe grasslands 6,500 years ago ...

Figure 1: Expression of reporter gene constructs derived from the gcy-5, lim-6 and lsy-6 genes. One potential explanation for our observations is that the vector backbone may dictate the packaging ...

The DNA of interest is first isolated, then combined with a carrier DNA molecule called a vector, which is then introduced into the host organism. Gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, allow ...

Immunizing the host with a piece of viral DNA rather than an antigenic protein fragment of the virus, helps to stimulate the generation of cell-mediated immunity (Fig. 2). DNA vaccines contain the ...
