Evgeny Kvon is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, USA. His lab studies non-coding regulatory DNA and its mechanistic role in the control of gene expression to understand more about development, disease and evolution.
A team of scientists – including UC Irvine’s Distinguished Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Brandon Gaut and UC Davis’ Professors of Viticulture & Enology Dario Cantù and Andy Walker – has made a significant breakthrough in the battle against a devastating disease affecting grapevines. Their study, recently published in Communications Biology, reveals the discovery of candidate genes for disease resistance in wild grape plants, offering hope for the future of the agriculture industry.
University of California, Irvine neuroscientists probing the gene changes behind Alzheimer’s disease have developed a process of making a “meta-cell” that overcomes the challenges of studying a single cell. Their technique has already revealed important new information and can be used to study other diseases throughout the body.
Climate change is an undeniable reality that is rapidly transforming our planet. As scientists strive to comprehend the complexities of this phenomenon, Earth system
