About one-third of 1751 genes studied in the first comprehensive survey of the mouse genome are essential to life, according to research by an international collaboration including the UC Davis Mouse ...

To explore the functional implications of human NOVA1, researchers used CRISPR gene editing to create mice that expressed the uniquely human version of this protein.Within the cell, NOVA1’s job is to ...

Mouse-to-human genome comparisons have shown that, in addition to common genes, the two species share a surprising amount of DNA code that controls when and how these genes turn on or off.

Genes essential to life found in mouse mutants are related to many human disease genes. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2016 / 09 / 160916110634.htm ...

A mouse made from genes older than animal life . The genes, the team discovered, were found in a protist about the size of a dust particle called a choanoflagellate — or “collar” flagellate.

The team took choanoflagellate Sox genes and used them to replace the existing Sox2 genes in the mouse. This triggered the cells to turn into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which can then ...

A gene-edited mouse created with two male parents has now survived to reach adulthood. This is a momentous occasion for genetics, as previous attempts to create bi-paternal mice have failed for a ...

A mouse created with stem cells from a choanoflagellate Sox gene, left, and a “wild type” mouse. The lab-induced stem cells had genetic markers like dark eyes.
