A new multi-generational study suggests that the effects of violence can remain in your genes—and be passed down to future ...

At meeting on human embryo editing, CRISPR pioneer says science is a long way from knowing if germline DNA can be safely ...

These strategies include the reassembly of naturally occurring genes encoding the heavy- and light-chain domains from either immune 1,2 or nonimmune B-cell sources 3, or introduction of synthetic ...

Germline stem cells from the postnatal testis can convert into ES-like, multipotent germline stem cells without any genetic treatment. We will examine 1) the differences between SSCs and ES cells, 2) ...

Trump misstated $8 million spent on transgender mice, sparking debate on transgenic research and its importance in science.

With this approach, we have determined that unusual DNA structures (i.e., palindromes, as well as double-strand breaks) stimulate germline recombination events to a high degree (Akgün et al. Mol Cell ...

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

The female gamete is called an ovum or egg. The plural is ova. Ova are produced from germline cells in the ovaries. Ovaries contain immature ova at various stages of development. Each ova is ...

The study, which was published in Nature Plants, found that within this preparation process, a single female germline cell is produced and is nursed by surrounding nucellar cells until fertilization.

A novel mouse model offers definitive evidence that a single inhibitory receptor family governs the critical natural killer cell functions of licensing and missing-self.

The fly testis, just like the mammalian testis, contains two different cell types- germ cells that will eventually become sperm and somatic cells that support the germline within the niche and as germ ...
