PROYECTO GEN4OLIVE | Profundizan en el mapa genético del olivo para afrontar los retos del futuro
La Universidad de Córdoba dirige el proyecto GEN4OLIVE, en el que se caracterizarán 500 variedades de olivo para conocer sus cualidades agronómicas y su comportamiento ante diferentes estreses como plagas y enfermedades o efectos del clima y cambio climático
A new epigenetic editing tool is developed to activate silenced genes
The research project is based on the CRISPR genetic editing technique and uses a plant protein to control gene expression in in-vitro cells
A biochemical process in plants is imitated to curb the reproduction of colon cancer tumor cells
A University of Cordoba research team has developed a tool to erase molecular tags that silence genes involved in tumor growth
Plants have provided a new avenue in curbing tumor growth. On this occasion, it doesn’t involve miracle species or the like, but rather the results obtained by the University of Cordoba BIO301 research team called "Epigenetics and DNA Repair." This research team is affiliated with the Maimonides Institute of Biomedical Research and is led by Genetics Professor María Teresa Roldán Arjona.
