De-extinction scientists say these gene-edited ‘woolly mice’ are a step toward woolly mammoths The animals, the first to have been created by Colossal Biosciences, have fluffy coats and curly ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

A new technology aims to take gene therapies a step further, making it possible for the treatment to be used more widely, at lower cost, and with improved outcomes for patients.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA sequence loxP, which is its target. This vector allows the creation of ...

Researchers have identified several uncharacterized chromatin factors and a gene that are involved in DNA repair.

NEW YORK (WRGB) — Over 600 cases across the U.S. have been solved using genetic genealogy and DNA sequencing. Family trees once thought to be a fun project for the family historian are quickly ...

DNA barcoding has been applied to generate barcoded cells and nanoparticles to investigate heterogeneous cell-nanoparticle interactions to boost the translational application of nanomedicine.

An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature.

By inserting an entire gene, the tool offers a one-and-done approach that overcomes hurdles from CRISPR gene editing technology-which is programmed to correct individual mutations-offering a ...

A number of recent clinical trials have suggested that gene therapy could help treat diseases of the eye that cause vision loss. This Special Feature explores the current evidence and outstanding ...

As newborn screening programs expand to include babies’ entire genomes, parents must be made aware of the privacy risks and states must create rules to rein in unbridled police access to this data.

New CRISPR Approach Enables “Seamless” Gene Insertions The new method, SEED/Harvest, combines CRISPR Cas-9 technology with the single-strand annealing pathway.
