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

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 ...

A new inhalable gene therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) has entered Phase I clinical trials, a major milestone on the journey towards seeing this treatment in the clinic. For this first phase, the aim ...

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

Blood proteins serve as crucial indicators of health and disease risk throughout development. Now, researchers at the ...

Biomarker testing has the potential to improve patient outcomes significantly, but its high cost means it's not accessible to ...

The findings could someday help identify and treat speech-related problems, researchers said. View on euronews ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a debilitating genetic condition that’s usually fatal by a few years of age. But an ...

Snopes tried to discredit research as a "rumor" when journalist received early results from conference call between researchers and study participants. Spike still detectable in some participants ...

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

In their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is able to establish infection of liver cells, research led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ...
