Unparalleled inventory of the human gut ecosystem
An international team of scientists has collated all known bacterial genomes from the human gut microbiome into a single large database. Their work…
From stem cells to neurons
Scientists at EMBL Heidelberg have investigated stem cells and how they differentiate to become neurons. Their approach included an assessment of the…
Unravelling epigenetic reprogramming
A study conducted by the Hackett group at EMBL Rome has identified key factors controlling the complex system of gene regulation during early embryo…
Editing the mouse genome to study SARS-CoV-2 infection
To study how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells, the Gene Editing and Embryology Facility (GEEF) at EMBL Rome will generate mice that express a human version…
Existing drugs can prevent SARS-CoV-2 from hijacking cells
Researchers evaluate how the new coronavirus rewires human proteins for its own replication, and identify several antiviral drugs ready for clinical…
Five things you probably didn’t know about the Human Genome Project
Today we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first draft of the entire human…
Silencing the SARS-CoV-2 receptor with epigenetic modifications
EMBL scientists develop a new molecular tool to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection in mice. This tool is able to cause targeted epigenetic modifications of…
Unpicking the complexity of DNA mutations
DNA damage caused by chemical mutagens is not repaired immediately and can create more genetic diversity in…
Investigating the structure and mechanisms of coronavirus biomolecules
While global research on coronaviruses has shed light on the function of many SARS-CoV-2 proteins, the role of some crucial components remains…
