Progress in gene therapy
A group of CTABEG researchers, directed by Dr Miguel Chillon, describe the development of a new method for producing last-generation adenoviruses (used as vectors in gene therapy) which significantly reduce the inconveniences that existed until now in clinical trials carried out with humans. This method...
Genome comparison of twelve fruit fly species
Researchers from the UAB Genomics, Bioinformatics and Evolution Group participated in an international research that has resulted in the completion of the genomes of ten new fruit fly species. The study also includes new data on the evolution of the twelve currently known species...

The use of RNA interference as therapeutic tool
The latest discoveries in the field of RNA interference have revolutionized our knowledge of molecular and cellular biology. They have allowed to advance in therapies to treat serious diseases, like HIV. But this article proves that, at the present time, much is left to...
Intron content influences protein variation
Variation in DNA sequence is the basis of natural selection, and hence a study of the variation patterns in the gene sequences of a species is essential for the understanding of the mechanisms of evolution at molecular level. Introns are DNA sequences that form part of the genes but...
