BioStructLab
The research activities of the BioStructLab are focus on gene manipulation by recombinant DNA technique, production of biological macromolecules ( RNA and DNA), and structural characterization by structural biology techniques The
Evolutionary and Systematic Zoology Lab
Research interests of the group focus on the study of insects, and soil fauna in general, of naturalistic as well as agricultural interest. Methodologies employed are taxonomy, molecular evolution, evolutionary genetics, population genetics, metagenomics, genomics, bioinformatics.
CRISPR System for Gene Editing
The invention relates to a 'Clustered Regularly Interspersed Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) CRISPR associated (Cas)’ (CRISPR-Cas) system targeting a genome sequence in a eukaryotic cell, i.e. a system useful for making modifications within the cell genome.
CRISPR-Cas system for gene therapy
The invention refers to the use of an engineered 'Clustered Regularly Interspersed Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR)-CRISPR associated (Cas)’ (CRISPR-Cas) technology targeting a sequence mutated at one or more loci in the genome of a given eukaryotic cell
Nanotransducer-based genome editing system
The invention concerns a system based on a nano-transducer able to modify a target DNA sequence in a cell in order to delete harmful mutations underlying genetic diseases.
New Plant Variety: Sino Japanese Plum Dofi Sandra
The new plant variety of the Japanese Sino Plum Dofi Sandra was obtained by the breeders in 1989 by crossing the Black Gold x Brumosa plum varieties.
A new grain amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) variety for temperate climates
The research group has carried out genetic improvement resulting in the production of the new variety of A. cruentus currently called UNIFI6161.
