Once scientists have collected an eDNA sample, they analyze it via bar coding, which can either look for a single species or ...

When the monkeys were single-celled embryos, scientists had used CRISPR editing tools to silence, or “knock out”, a gene that ...

Scientists have identified a tiny genetic change—present in nearly all living humans but absent in our closest extinct ...

Building a gene editor took months. With CRISPR even high-schoolers can get hold of editing systems in the time it takes to order RNA sequences online and have them shipped by FedEx. In a short while ...

Researchers from the Mitochondrial Medicine Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have better characterized a spectrum of what were classically considered discrete mitochondrial DNA ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of | Roche said ...

Bluebird Bio will sell itself to private equity firms Carlyle and SK Capital for about $30 million, the company said Friday.

Genes shape brain structure and may influence neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and ADHD, revealing new insights into brain health.

Neanderthals lost genetic diversity around 110,000 years ago. Researchers confirmed this by studying fossilized inner ears.

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Scientists discovered that DNA mutations influence aging by altering epigenetic changes and biological clocks.

It’s a race against a single genetic marker — and musician turned biotech start-up CEO Casey McPherson says the stakes for ...
