Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

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

Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

Some genetic disorders—such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease—involve many mutations in a person's genome, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

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 ...

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

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a simple DNA "switch" that helps tropical ...
