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 ...

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 ...

Compared to previous findings, the number is shocking.

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 ...

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 ...

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

His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, ...

Scientists used precise gene-editing to grow larger African eggplants. Credit: Zachary Lippman, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Tomatoes come in all kinds of colors, sizes, and flavors. But what’s going ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Neanderthals and humans likely mixed and mingled during a narrow time frame 45,000 years ago, scientists reported Thursday. Researchers analyzed ancient genes to pinpoint the time ...

A new study in Molecular Psychiatry looked at the DNA of 131,895 people and asked two simple questions. Have you ever used cannabis? If yes, how often? Among those who had tried, frequency was ...
