New ‘Split-drive’ System Puts Scientists in the (Gene) Driver Seat

March 5, 2021

New research published in two papers by UC San Diego scientists describes novel achievements designed to make the implementation of gene drives safer and more controllable. The new split drive and home-and-rescue systems address concerns about the release of gene drives in wild populations.

Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Linked to Heart Disease Risk

August 4, 2022

UC San Diego and Salk Institute researchers report a surprising link between mitochondria, inflammation and gene mutations that may increase risk of atherosclerosis.

Altered Cell Cycle Gene Activity Underlies Brain Overgrowth in Autistic Toddlers

December 14, 2015

Further underscoring the prenatal origins of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine describe for the first time how abnormal gene activity in cell cycle networks that are known to control brain cell production may underlie abnormal early brain growth in the disorder.
