A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

A new method for safely inserting large chunks of DNA into genomes has now measured up in mice, potentially paving the way ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a ...

Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

That superhero is a gene called TP53, and for decades scientists have known it as the “guardian of the genome.” In a healthy cell, TP53 acts like both a brake and an emergency stop button. When DNA ...

Investigators in the Nancy Guthrie case have turned to genetic genealogy as they try to make the most of potential DNA ...
