We have evaluated gene transfer efficiency to tumor nodules in diethylnitrosoamine (DENA)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in rats using adenoviral vectors administered by three different routes ...

One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. Researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Researchers at the University of Sheffield are investigating Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT) in plants, which allows them to ...

In a recent study published in Cell, researchers used a multi-omics approach to profile the gut microbiomes and metabolomes of mothers and infants to determine the vertical and horizontal transmission ...

The fungus that causes coffee wilt disease repeatedly took up segments of DNA from a related fungal pathogen, which contributed to successive outbreaks of the disease. Lily Peck of Imperial College ...
