Invasive Californian death caps develop mushrooms unisexually and bisexually

Mushroom collecting Sporocarps were collected from various herbaria and during three expeditions to Point Reyes National Seashore (PRNS), California in 2004, 2014 and 2015, and in 2015 from three sites in Portugal. A total of 86 sporocarps were collected: 67 Californian sporocarps (one early herbarium sample dates to 1993), 11…

Researchers demonstrate targeted epigenome editing in the promoter region of several genes using sgRNA/dCas9 complexes

In a recent study posted to the preprint server Research Square* while under review for publication in Epigenetics & Chromatin, researchers develop and characterize a highly specific EpiEditing system using catalytically inactivated Cas9 (dCas9) to achieve allele-specific deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation (ASM). Study: Development of super-specific epigenome editing by targeted allele-specific…
