Wow: Geneticists Created an Organism Immune to All Viruses

BY JACKIE APPEL PUBLISHED: MAY 4, 2023 MR.Cole_Photographer Scientists have created a bacterium that is resistant to all viruses. Using strands of RNA, researchers re-coded the organism so that when viruses try to invade, their replication instructions get all mixed around. The team hopes their new tech will eventually be used to create virus-resistant bacteria to be...

MARRVEL: Integration of Human and Model Organism Genetic Resources to Facilitate Functional Annotation of the Human Genome

One major challenge encountered with interpreting human genetic variants is the limited understanding of the functional impact of genetic alterations on biological processes. Furthermore, there remains an unmet demand for an efficient survey of the wealth of information on human homologs in model organisms across numerous databases. To efficiently assess the large volume of publically...
