Throughout life, our cells are constantly exposed to environmental and internal factors that can damage DNA. While such DNA ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Despite setbacks and funding cuts — and a quieting of the hype blaring its arrival — multiple CRISPR-based trials are ...

Since 2019, MIT researchers have published a new concept called prime editing, which is more precise than regular CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. As a result, it has fewer off-target effects and less chance ...

Faulty versions of the LMNA gene can cause a wide range of health problems, including heart muscle disease (dilated ...

An incredible genetic analysis reveals that a lungfish has a larger genome than a human. We explore what this means.

What naked mole-rats lack in the looks department they make up for it in longevity, living healthily for nearly four decades.
