The plant-editing system uses mRNA to avoid the risk that foreign DNA could be left behind and create unwanted mutations Chinese scientists have developed a gene-editing system for plants that draws ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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

Scientists employ deep learning to analyze and compare gene regulation across various cell types in human and chicken brains.

Highly valued economically, ecologically and culturally, the white oak (Quercus alba) is a keystone forest species and is one of the most abundant trees across much of eastern North America. It also ...

Both Tabrizi and Yang think that knocking down MSH3 could stave off HD pathology. Tabrizi noted that MSH3 also modifies other run-on repeats, including those causing fragile X syndrome, myotonic ...

Recent innovations in DNA-modifying will revolutionize the treatment of many diseases and prompt crucial discussions.

Professor and HHMI Investigator Zachary Lippman and his colleagues are exploring how non-coding DNA segments, known as ...

Epigenetic inhibitors as a promising new antimalarial intervention strategy? A new study identifies an inhibitor of gene ...
