Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

The compounding power of Moore's Law allowed for the internet the smartphone and AI. Now Ian says it's being applied to the ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...

Every human wants to live a longer life to fulfil their dream and ambitions. While modern lifestyle stresses have raised ...

Humans and Neanderthals cozied up from time to time when they lived in the same areas tens of thousands of years ago. But we don’t know much about who got with whom, or why.

By utilizing long-read sequencing, an emerging technique that reads large sections of the genome at once, scientists at UC San Diego have revealed new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

INSTALL results showed successful and safe non-viral insertion of large genetic payloads in the livers of mice when delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). In contrast, mice experienced fatal immune ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Cas9, Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), and Zinc-Finger nucleases (ZFNs) have demonstrated great utility, primarily for genetic knock-out applications, none have been adopted ...

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found sitting directly on top of human DNA, according to a study published in ...
