Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...

Horses have played a critical role in shaping human society, but scientists are still piecing together the story of their domestication. Reading time 3 minutes Roughly 4,500 years ago, humans forged a ...

Putting the uniquely human version of a certain gene into mice changed the way that those animals vocalized to each other, suggesting that this gene may play a role in speech and language. Mice make a ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) is a rare but devastating genetic disorder. Those with the condition are often diagnosed between 5 and 15 years of age and live only into their 30s or 40s. There is no widely ...
