Fragments of DNA from long-extinct human relatives still circulate in modern genomes, and in some cases they do more than ...

On average, the researchers found 2.65 cDNMs per child in the Chernobyl group, 1.48 per child in the German radar group, and ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Researchers have developed a single genome-editing strategy, known as PERT, that could potentially treat various diseases caused by nonsense mutations.

The idea of self-amplifying gene editing is to get cells to pass on packages of CRISPR machinery to their neighbours, boosting the effect ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

DNA from 2,000-year-old lentils reveals key genes for protecting crops from heat and the current global climate crisis.

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying ...
