Cutting Edge Agriculture Gene Editing with Cas-CLOVER
Blog Agriculture Biotechnology Though CRISPR-Cas enabled targeted genome engineering across a vast array of organisms, the system features major disadvantages. Frequent off-target mutagenesis, licensing restrictions and non-ideal economic license terms have inhibited commercial crop-science product upscaling, and, in many cases, entirely disqualified CRISPR’s use by many commercial crop developers. Seeking…
Mapping to multiple references using bbmap
So my question comes in two parts: First of all is what I’m trying to do within reason given the tools I am using? I am investigating the shuffling effects of a recombinase on a known reporter sequence which subsequently generates libraries of unique sequences. By simulating all of the…
Building a reputable GitHub profile : bioinformatics
I’m a current undergraduate student whose just finishing up most of my fundamental courses in computer science and have some exposure to using computers to solve biologically-interesting problems and some of the big algorithms. I did a lot of my requirements pretty early, leaving me just upper-level courses (which according…
How Australian police will use DNA sequencing to predict how suspects look
The Australian Federal Police has announced that they are using next-generation DNA sequencing technology to estimate the physical appearance of potential suspects. Based on DNA left at a crime scene, the technology – also known as massively parallel sequencing – can infer a person’s outwardly visible characteristics even in the…
How Australian police will use DNA sequencing to predict what suspects look like
Australian federal police have introduced they’re utilizing next-generation DNA sequencing know-how to predict the bodily look of potential suspects. Based on DNA left at a criminal offense scene, the know-how – also referred to as massively parallel sequencing – can predict externally seen traits of an individual even within the…
