In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in Italy performed a genome-based comparison of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) XBB recombinant ...

It was long thought that during an embryo's first cell division, one spindle is responsible for segregating the embryo's chromosomes into two cells. Scientists now show that there are actually two ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a relatively young crop and has a narrow gene pool. In order to introduce genetic variability into the crop, ...

The ability to manipulate the vaccinia virus (VAC) genome, as a plasmid in bacteria, would greatly facilitate genetic studies and provide a powerful alternative method of making recombinant viruses.
