Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base ...

Tools like CRISPR-Cas9 are creating new opportunities for innovation in St. Louis, as well as risks around IP protection and regulation.

He believed in creating “better” humans.

A gene-edited mouse created with two male parents has now survived to reach adulthood. This is a momentous occasion for genetics, as previous attempts to create bi-paternal mice have failed for a ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Weizmann Institute study finds genetics may account for about 50 percent of human lifespan, more than double previous estimates.

Imagine rewinding the tape of life. You go back past the dinosaurs, past the explosion of animal life in the Cambrian, past the first multicellular blobs, all the way back to a single, microscopic ...
