Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

Plants grow best when genetics inside cells cooperate, while mismatched genetics reduce photosynthesis and climate resilience ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Scientists discovered that certain gene changes allow cells to function even when frataxin, the protein lost in Friedreich’s ...

Berg P., Baltimore, D., Boyer, H., Cohen, S., Davis, R., Hogness, D., Nathans, D. et al. 1974. “Potential Biohazards of Recombinant DNA Molecules.” Science. 185 ...

A new machine-learning approach helps scientists more efficiently identify the optimal intervention to achieve a certain outcome in a complex system, such as genome regulation, requiring far fewer ...

That rogue scientist who created HIV-resistant designer babies is apparently gearing up for more human gene-editing research. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, He Jiankui said he wants to ...

I’m writing to make visible an invisible and immediate threat to our local agriculture, economy, and environment — researchers who may be conducting secret field tests on genetically engineered (GE) ...
