Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

Scientists have developed six lines of humanized mice that can serve as valuable models for studying human cases of COVID-19. Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have developed six ...

Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The treatment, which uses ...

This year could mark a turning point for one of science’s most familiar animals: the laboratory mouse. For decades, mice and ...

One of those genes encodes the enzyme DHDDS, part of the pathway that glycosylates proteins in higher cells. Retinitis pigmentosa from DHDDS mutations is called RP59. This is a recessive genetic ...
