ABSTRACT Maria-Elena Torres-Padilla's research is focused on how cell fate arises from a singlecell embryo, the fertilized egg or zygote. After the initial divisions, cell potency …
Genome engineering is an important component of gene/cell therapy and molecular medicine. In this respect, several DNA editing tools, such as ZFNs, TALEN and CRISPR-Cas …
Environmental exposures that alter epigenetic marks can have phenotypic consequences for multiple generations. Prenatal nutrition and environmental stressors have been shown to …
Long interspersed nuclear elements-1 (Line-1 or L1) accounts for approximately 17% of the human genome. The majority of L1s are inactive, but∼ 100 remain retrotransposon …
