Scientists at the University of Sheffield are conducting research into natural genetic engineering with a focus on Lateral Gene Transfer to help improve crop resilience to extreme weather.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder that results from mutations in the DMD gene. Gene therapies for DMD change genetic material in a person’s body to treat this condition.

In a breakthrough study, scientists have transferred a courtship behavior from one species to another, triggering the recipient to perform this completely foreign act as if it was its own. While genes ...

Researchers in Japan have genetically transferred a unique courtship behavior from one fruit fly species to another. By turning on a single gene in insulin-producing neurons, the team successfully ...

Children born to women who carry pathogenic variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are at risk for a range of clinical syndromes collectively known as mtDNA disease. Mitochondrial donation by ...
