Young Researcher Interview: Dr. Marc Garcia Borràs
Dr. Marc Garcia-Borràs is currently a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA where he has been working on the computational modelling of enzyme-catalyzed reactions for the past 3 years. Prior to that, he completed a research stay at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in...
Cell-free DNA Fragments to Identify Cancer
It is now possible to distinguish the pattern of DNA fragments of normal cells from cancerous cells within the blood of individuals with surgically-operable early stage cancers.1 Regions of the genome have their own local differences in cancer-specific,...
Crop Tolerance to Herbicides through Artificial Evolution
The domestication of crops is a directed evolutionary process that has lasted for most of human history. It has allocated naturally occurring mutations that encode traits for higher production, better taste, and convenient cultivation. These traits can better manage...
