Aging is a biological process that affects most cells, organisms, and species. Telomeres, located at the end of chromosomes, have been postulated as a universal biological clock that shortens in parallel with aging in cells. Telomeres shorten as cells age. They consist of an evolutionarily conserved repetitive nucleotide sequence ranging in length from a few hundred base pairs in yeast to...

Genetic engineering has changed the life sciences. Not only does it allow for targeted control of biological characteristics, but it also breaks down species boundaries and overcomes the incompatibility of distant hybridization. The perfect combination of genetic engineering and Drosophila will greatly contribute to your biomedical research.  Genetic engineering is the technique...
