Hidden DNA Mechanism Prevents Species Extinction Through Genetic Hitchhiking

Researchers have uncovered a novel genetic survival strategy where essential telomerase RNA hitches rides inside other genes. This discovery explains how species avoid extinction through telomere maintenance and could revolutionize anti-aging research.

Genetic Mystery Solved After Two Decades

An international research team has revealed a previously unknown DNA mechanism that prevents species extinction, according to reports published in Science. The discovery, led by Hiroki Shibuya at RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research in Japan, explains how essential genetic material can survive without its own dedicated gene by hitchhiking inside others.

Gene-Edited Pigs Developed to Combat Devastating Swine Fever Outbreaks

Researchers have successfully engineered pigs with complete resistance to classical swine fever through precise gene editing. The breakthrough could transform disease management in the global pork industry, according to scientific reports.

Breakthrough in Livestock Disease Resistance

Scientists have developed genetically engineered pigs that demonstrate complete resistance to classical swine fever, according to research published this week. The breakthrough from the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute represents a potential game-changer for combating a disease that threatens hundreds of millions of pigs worldwide, sources indicate.
