An integral part of Mediterranean culture, wine is made by fermenting pressed grape juice. The resulting drink consists of ...

Now, a team of Chinese scientists led by Gao Caixia, principal investigator at Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, has cracked a decades-old challenge in ...

To cure genetic diseases – the majority of which have no available treatment options – targeted, non-viral gene insertions via ssDNA are key.

Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found.

Researchers demonstrate the active role methyl groups play in silencing genes, demonstrating the therapeutic potential of ...

University of Zurich researchers have developed Pythia, an AI tool that predicts how cells repair DNA after CRISPR cuts, guiding ultra-precise edits. Tested in human cells, frogs, and mice, the method ...

Competent cells—bacterial cells engineered to efficiently uptake foreign DNA—are at the heart of modern molecular biology ...

The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64, freeing up space for further edits that might lead to new drugs or virus-resistant microbes ...

Last year, I added my DNA profile to a private genealogical database, FamilyTreeDNA, and clicked “Yes” to allow the police to ...
