Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Modern crop breeding is entering a new era of genome design, led by genome editing technologies as mainstream tools for targeted genome modification. In a review published in Nature Reviews Genetics, ...

An understanding of the origin and dynamics of heritable genetic variation within classical animal breeding programs is needed to provide the context for understanding the contributions and concerns ...

Under the agreement, Syngenta will evaluate KOMO’s non-viral, integrase-based genome engineering technology for research applications focused on the controlled and predictable introduction of genetic ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

The prime editor is a fusion protein consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) and an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT). The Cas9n is guided by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) ...

Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

Genetic regulation of glucose homeostasis is central to the maintenance of human health and the prevention of metabolic disorders such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Recent advances in molecular ...

Study reveals that evolutionary divergence occurred before ecological divergence, enabling these insects to feed on both wood and soil. Future discoveries may be applied to the production of biofuels.

Over the past century, worldwide consumption of food-animal products such as meat, milk, and eggs has steadily grown due to increases in global population and per capita income that fuel demand for ...
