Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health have discovered the evolutionary rhythm of gene expression, showing that ...

Gene editing technologies—such as those used in agriculture and de-extinction projects—can be repurposed to offer what an ...

A simple noniterative method has been proposed to design a convergent Pierce electron gun. The logarithmic value of the ratio of cathode to anode radii of curvature is expressed in a power series ...

In this article, a collaborative design method for gyrotron magnetron injection gun (MIG) and solenoid is proposed for the first time. On this basis, the shape of the electrodes and solenoid sizes is ...

Gene Gun Innovation Boosts Plant Research Efficiency Iowa State University AMES, Iowa – Plant scientists have used a standard "gene gun" since 1988 to genetically modify crops for better yield, ...

Iowa State engineers, left to right, Connor Thorpe and Shan Jiang helped invent the "Flow Guiding Barrel," which improves gene gun performance for the genetic modification of plants. Jiang is holding ...

The computer modeling shows a conventional gene gun directs about 21% of loaded particles toward its plant cell targets while a gene gun modified with the Flow Guiding Barrel delivers nearly 100%.

RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — Residents near Lakeridge Golf Course in south Reno are expressing concern over the methods used to control the local marmot population.
