Artificial viral vectors constructed from bacteriophage T4 show promise for advanced gene delivery

Research presents an assembly-line approach using bacteriophage T4 components to construct artificial viral vectors (AVVs). These AVVs have the potential to revolutionize gene therapies and personalized medicine by enabling the efficient delivery of biomolecules for molecular repairs and genome remodeling.

Neanderthal genes shape human noses

Research reports a study on the genetics of facial features in Latin Americans using automatic landmarking of 2D portraits and genome-wide association analysis. The study identified novel regions associated with facial features, including a region in 1q32.3 that shows introgression from Neanderthals and influences nasal height.
