However, how these regions corresponded to specific sequences of DNA remained elusive. Plant scientists suspected that understanding this mechanism could help identify targets during disease ...

A Kobe University team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms. This technique is indistinguishable from natural variation and enabled the ...

A Chinese scientist horrified the world in 2018 when he revealed he had secretly engineered the birth of the world's first gene-edited babies. His work was reviled as reckless and unethical because, ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.

3D visualization of the production of a red fluorescent protein in a tadpole. The gene responsible for its production is specifically activated in muscle cells. A research team headed by the ...

Hi. I’m Art Caplan. I'm at the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Some leading organizations in the field of cell and gene therapies recently issued a call for a 10-year ...

MIT scientists have found a way to make gene editing far safer and more accurate — a breakthrough that could reshape how we treat hundreds of genetic diseases. By fine-tuning the tiny molecular “tools ...

This first-in-the-world approach harnesses autophagy to shift DNA repair toward homologous recombination, boosting precision editing efficiency up to threefold. Dr. Hye Jin Nam’s team at the Korea ...

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few humans to treat disease. Since its invention, scientists have improved, ...
