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

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

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 ...

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

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.

A recent study examines why Alzheimer's presents and progresses differently in individuals using advanced biological analysis ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...

A genetic trail that stretches back to 1331 may finally confirm the resting place of a genius.

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 ...

A DNA test could help match patients with psychiatric medications, potentially reducing the long and frustrating ...
