How can altering DNA help defeat one of the world’s deadliest diseases? This video explores how scientists are using CRISPR ...

Because the new method can replace a large stretch of defective DNA with a healthy sequence, the same retron-based package can fix any combination of mutations within that stretch of DNA without ...

In a world first, a bespoke gene-editing therapy benefitted one child. Now reseachers plan to launch a clinical trial of the ...

A research team headed by the University of Zurich has developed a powerful new method to precisely edit DNA by combining cutting-edge genetic engineering with artificial intelligence. This technique ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

Seven years after the first gene-edited babies were revealed, biotech startup Manhattan Genomics is reviving the idea of ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons ...

A West Coast biotech entrepreneur says he’s secured $30 million to form a public-benefit company to study how to safely create genetically edited babies, marking the largest known investment into the ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

Researchers have identified molecular mechanisms behind age-related memory decline — and shown they can be reversed.

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.
