In a News and Views commentary entitled “To BE or not to BE, that is the question”, Dr. YANG Li and collaborators commented three recent studies published in Science and Nat Biotechnol about accuracy of base editing. In the commentary, authors indicated that the ...

Researchers developed a method named “GOTI”, abbreviated by “Genome-wide Off-target Analysis by Two-cell Embryo Injection”. The research team applied the method to evaluate the genome-wide off-target effects induced by genome editing tools including CRISPR/Cas9...

Researchers from Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health (SINH), Chinese Academy of Sciences found that Listeria monocytogenes promoted its own survival by inducing mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) in macrophages and identified a new mitophagy receptor NLRX1....
