A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from organelles to the nucleus in plants. Disruption of DSBR increases the risk of ...

New research from Max Planck Institute reveals how plants defend their genomes from invasion by chloroplast DNA.

Researchers have identified an early postnatal window that allows gene transfer to circulating blood stem cells, advancing ...

A gene that regulates the development of roots in vascular plants is also involved in the organ development of ...

An emerging area of research is the evolutionarily conserved transfer of mitochondria between cells. Yet researchers have lacked unique and universally accepted terms and practices to describe such ...
