Discovery of new cave millipedes casts light on Arizona cave ecology

... of two new millipede species in caves on opposite sides of the Grand Canyon. Wynne and Voyles, known for their cave research, also discovered a new genus of cricket last spring. "We knew the millipedes likely represented two distinct species because the two populations were separated by the Grand...

Gene therapy study shows safety and statistically significant improvement in Parkinson's disease

...nning). Although all patients had symptoms on both sides of the body, the procedure was performed on only one side of the brain, enabling the untreated side to serve as a study control. The reported improvements were observed primarily on the treated side of the body beginning three months after the gene t...

Mutating the entire genome

...A. Then, they can select a mouse with loxP on both sides of the large piece of DNA they want to mutate and study. If the jumping gene carrying loxP hops into the middle of a gene, then the gene will be mutated. So while the method began as a way to delete large stretches of non-gene DNA, it has the bon...
