The protein DNase1 is one of the oldest biological agents in history. It has been on the market since 1958 and is now used, ...

DNase1 is a powerful human enzyme that breaks down free DNA in the body. It plays a critical role in clearing thick mucus in cystic fibrosis patients. For decades, scientists have relied on expensive ...

Biologists say they swapped human genes into the genetic code used by common yeast cells — and found that the cells could continue to function and grow. The results of the experiment ...

In the world of microorganisms, microbes compete for turf, spew chemicals at foes, and sometimes exploit the microscopic ...

In a study published Thursday in Science, researchers report successfully swapping out some 450 of the genes in baker's yeast with similar ones from a human. Each swapped gene got its own strain ...

He figured the best way to answer that question would be to try swapping out the genetic material – basically, disable a gene in yeast, then replace it with the human version of that gene ...

A team of scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands managed to successfully insert human muscle genes into a bit of baker's yeast for the first time. The human genes in ...

A study on the human muscles and yeast titled "Full humanization of the glycolytic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae" has been published in the journal Cell Reports. Researchers from Delft ...
