Fruit flies, also known as Drosophila melanogaster, are beneficial for studying genetics and development. Their genome is well-documented, making it easy to manipulate and breed. Scientists can now study Drosophila genes more effectively with the new CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology.   DNA alterations can be done accurately and specifically by using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The Cas9 enzyme targets a specific part of the genome through a guide RNA (gRNA). Afterward, the Cas9 enzyme breaks the DNA, which then prompt... more

  Lifeasible, a leading provider of plant biotechnology and molecular biology services, recently enhanced its plant metabolite profiling services to meet diversified research needs.   Plant metabolites are small organic molecules produced by enzymes and play crucial roles in various plant biological processes, including growth, development, and stress response. Metabolite profiling provides valuable insights into plant physiology, biochemistry, and metabolic regulation, enabling researchers to gain a deeper... more
