Inside the Human Gene Editing Boom Driven by CRISPR Reshaping Everything From Medicine to Food
A major medical milestone took place in May 2025, when doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia used CRISPR-based ...
CHICAGO (Reuters) - A group of U.S. scientists and activists on Monday called for a global ban on the use of new tools to edit the genes of human embryos, in a report issued a day before a major ...
Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...
A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...
Humans have selectively bred animals and crops since the beginning of agriculture, but advances in biotechnology have provided genetic tools to select specific traits. First applied to animals in the ...
With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...
A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin — DNA and proteins — plays a critical role.
