Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make ...

The Y chromosome, the male relation genetic signature, has been a mystery to scientists for centuries. It’s the most repetitive and complex region of the human genome, and never before was it possible ...

In the largest screen to date for alternative genetic codes, a computer program named Codetta scanned more than 250,000 genome sequences from bacteria and archaea to identify five never-before-seen ...

That’s why a team from UC San Diego in La Jolla set out with Yale University researchers to develop a new system for gene ...

Scientists developed a new nanostructure that triples CRISPR’s ability to enter cells, unlocking even more power to treat ...

RALEIGH – In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers characterize a range of molecular tools to rewrite – not just edit – large chunks of an organism’s DNA, based on CRISPR-Cas ...

Cells are defined by the genes they express. In human cells, there are thousands of different protein coding genes, and the expression of those genes is carefully orchestrated and controlled by a ...

New research is shining a light on one of genetics’ enduring puzzles - how the workings of the so-called “selfish gene” could ...

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

Case Western Reserve University researchers combine novel chemical method with CRISPR gene-editing tools to target disease-specific versions of genetic code The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR ...
