Three start-ups are aiming to create gene-edited babies. Columnist Michael Le Page has no doubt that editing our offspring ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...

This important study provides a detailed analysis of the transcriptional landscape of the mouse hippocampus in the context of various physiological states. The main conclusions have solid support: ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...

Researchers have developed a new “color-coded” genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes.

Analyzing stochastic cell-to-cell variability can potentially reveal causal interactions in gene regulatory networks.

A shared molecular signature of Alzheimer’s appears across populations once studied in isolation. Alzheimer's disease (AD) ...
