    New CRISPR proteins expand editing access to heart disease genes

    2026-11-05T10:41:00Z By Linda Stewart

    A researcher has used his AI-supported Sequence Display technology to expand the targeting abilities of CRISPR/Cas9, evolving several variants of a compact Cas9 that could efficiently target stretches of DNA previously inaccessible for editing. The evolved Cas9s were successfully used to edit two genes found in coronary heart disease.

    Breast milk sugar may help protect newborns from jaundice

    2026-11-04T14:04:00Z By Tulay Ugurlu

    A sugar naturally found in breast milk may help newborn intestines mature and process bilirubin, the compound that builds up during jaundice. In mice, loss of 3’-sialyllactose disrupted gut development, worsened hyperbilirubinemia and was linked to greater intestinal vulnerability later in life.

    Cattle genetics and gut microbes could help cut methane emissions

    2026-11-04T11:30:00Z By Tulay Ugurlu

    Researchers are uncovering how cattle genetics and rumen microbes work together to shape methane emissions and feed efficiency. The findings could support new feed additives, probiotics and microbial strategies that reduce emissions while helping cattle extract more energy from their diet.
