What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...

Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively ...

From diagnostics to CRISPR and policy reform, explore how science and society are working together to combat the rising ...

Scientists pinpoint two cancer genes that when deleted, improve the vulnerability of tumour cells to immunotherapy.

The glial-specific role of betaPix during cerebral blood vessel development has been revealed by establishing a new betaPix conditional trap allele in zebrafish.

A new CRISPR-based approach for tuning gene expression up and down allowed identification of how other genes' expression responds to changes of transcription factors.

Bacteria contain a wide variety of mechanisms to fend off invaders like viruses. One of these strategies involves cleaving transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNA), which are present in all cells and play a ...

I hate to break this to you, but every child is a genetic experiment – and nature doesn’t care if things go wrong. Our genomes are awful messes created by conflicting evolutionary forces, and every ...

In a new study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig analyzed the impact of more than 2,000 clinically approved drugs on DNA repair and CRISPR genome editing ...

Torie Bosch is the First Opinion editor at STAT. Celena Lozano’s son Benny, who turned 5 in November, loves trains, trucks — anything that goes. He also has a rare disease, PURA syndrome. Earlier this ...

Genome editing has been a long goal in molecular biology, medicine, and biotechnology, dating back to the discovery of restriction enzymes. However, the identification of zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN) ...
