Discover LUCA: The 4.2 Billion-Year-Old Ancestor of All Life on Earth
Recent research has revealed that LUCA, the last universal common ancestor of all life, lived around 4.2 billion years ago. This new estimate pushes back the timeline for the origin of life by 300 million years. The study, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, involved analysis of genes from 700 species of bacteria and archaea, as well as ancien...

Missing Gene, Surge In Fatigue, Headache Cases: How Omicron Was Found
In early November, laboratories in South Africa's Gauteng began picking up something unusual while processing Covid-19 tests: they weren't able to detect the virus gene that creates the spike protein enabling the pathogen to enter human cells.

Is Gluten Related To Dairy? Here's Everything You Should Know
Gluten Allergy is a reaction to wheat, rye, oats and barley. If you have full blown gluten allergy it is called Celiac disease. Celiac disease is caused by a gene that gets triggered off either by a virus/ it is still being understood what really causes it.

Blood Test May Help Prevent Overuse Of Antibiotics
An inexpensive blood test could one day tell doctors whether an infection is caused by a virus or a bacteria, and help prevent unwarranted prescribing of antibiotics, researchers said Wednesday.

Finally, Scientists Discover Human Protein That Fights Zika
Scientists have discovered human proteins that Zika virus needs for replication by performing the first screen using gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9, an advance that may help fight Zika, dengue and other emerging viral infections.

HIV Can Develop Resistance To Gene-Editing Tool
Mutating HIV with the gene-editing platform CRISPR/Cas9 may inhibit viral replication, but it can also lead to the creation of viruses that are resistant to gene editing and more difficult to target, scientists say.

Scientists Eliminate HIV From DNA Of Human Cells
Using a specialised gene editing system, scientists have shown that they can effectively eliminate HIV from the DNA of human cells, paving the way for a cure for patients infected with the virus that causes AIDS.
