A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

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

A new synthesis finds that common epilepsies are driven by thousands of tiny-effect genetic variants, most still ...

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and ...

By utilizing long-read sequencing, an emerging technique that reads large sections of the genome at once, scientists at UC San Diego have revealed new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

Cas9, Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), and Zinc-Finger nucleases (ZFNs) have demonstrated great utility, primarily for genetic knock-out applications, none have been adopted ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

An analysis of ancient and modern DNA suggests the extent of convergent evolution in different peoples around the world is ...

Genetic data show that 14 psychiatric diagnoses cluster into five families of shared risk, explaining why conditions like ...

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