Could humans evolve into an entirely new species? Scientists explore how Mars colonization, genetic engineering, and ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

With the sequencing of the human genome and the genomes of other organisms, we now have a list of the parts that make up these genetic systems. Using this information, researchers are now able to ...

An international team led by University of Manchester scientists has created the most detailed picture yet of how genetic differences shape the way the human eye works. The breakthrough could help ...

A new editorial in Transplant International highlights the pivotal and often overlooked contributions of European scientists ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...

A study by researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute, and Yale University has identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human ...
