Experts share their insights with The i Paper as the UK becomes home to the first major project looking to write human DNA ...

In particular, host cell DNA contamination that is not detected and filtered properly can have dire consequences for the patient who receives a contaminated therapy and the lab that produces it.

Scientists with the NIH-backed SMaHT Network are mapping every DNA mutation in the human body, creating a groundbreaking ...

Using an inexpensive electrode coated with DNA, MIT researchers have designed disposable diagnostics that could be adapted to ...

Scientists have for the first time sequenced the most complete and oldest ancient Egyptian genome ever found—unlocking new ...

DNA microscopy accurately recreated where green- and red-tagged messenger RNA, used to translate instructions from the genome, was located in a sample of human breast cancer cells.

The technology could zero in on one spot in a cell’s genome, and then either snip out or insert new DNA. Dr. Shendure and his colleagues set out to use CRISPR to record a cell’s history.

The innovation, described in Cell, uses customized sequences of DNA about 30 nucleotides long, deposited into cells, to tag every DNA and RNA molecule in them.

It is the most elaborate gene-editing project in history and was the subject of a 2016 landmark paper in Science that identified 148,955 DNA changes necessary to make the cell virus-proof.

DNA is a biological molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to function, develop, and reproduce. It is present in all forms of life on earth and contains each organism’s ...
