The most common gene editing methods, such as CRISPR, involve random repair of an induced double-stranded DNA break through the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway, resulting in small insertions/deletions.

Determining Zygosity in the Vietnam Era Twin Registry: An Update
Our work assessed the accuracy of the original zygosity classification in the Vietnam Era Twin (VET) Registry using new information from DNA markers on a subset of participants. We then constructed an updated zygosity classification algorithm.

Vitis labrusca genome assembly reveals diversification between wild and cultivated grapevine genomes
Wild grapevines are important genetic resources in breeding programs to confer adaptive fitness traits and unique fruit characteristics, but the genetics underlying these traits, and their evolutionary origins, are largely unknown.

Rapid RHD Zygosity Determination Using Digital PCR [PDF]
BACKGROUND Paternal zygosity testing is used for determining homo- or hemizygosity of RHD in pregnancies that are at a risk of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. At present, this is achieved by using real-time PCR or the Rhesus

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...
