We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease.

HUMANS could live for centuries after scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal. The bowhead whale ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...

One of the most revolutionary tools in cutting-edge medicine is a molecular scalpel so precise that it can modify defective DNA and fix genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia, and chronic disorders ...

In 1812, hundreds of thousands of men in Napoleon's army perished during their retreat from Russia. Researchers now believe a ...
