A method of "taming" recombinase activity through conditional activation improved target specificity and is being commercialized by Seamless Therapeutics.
Germline Mutagenesis Traced Back to Meiotic Breaks, Error-Prone Repair
By mapping mutations in relation to recombination hotspots, researchers revealed mutagenic effects of meiotic DNA breaks and error-prone repair mechanisms.
Lesaffre Acquires Recombia Biosciences
The deal builds on a strategic partnership between the firms that started in 2020 to design and develop yeasts to produce fermented ingredients and biofuels.
SARS-CoV-2 Result of Bat, Pangolin Virus Recombination, Purifying Selection, Study Suggests
The ancestor of a bat coronavirus may have obtained a receptor binding motif found among pangolin coronaviruses through a recombination event.
Uniparental Disomy More Common in General Population Than Previously Thought
Researchers analyzed data from 23andMe and the UK Biobank to find that errors of recombination, like uniparental disomy, can be present among healthy individuals.
