Human genome editing historically has allowed for precise alterations of single base pairs by excising or inserting new sequences at a single location along the DNA strand. However, conventional gene ...

I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has at least heard of the Human Genome Project. They might not be able to tell you much about the specifics of what it ...

He Jiankui, PhD, displays genome sequences of gene-edited twins, Lule and Nana, at the International Summit on Human Genome Editing in Hong Kong in 2018. [National Academies] ...

IscBs are a type of OMEGA system, the evolutionary ancestors to Cas9, which is part of the bacterial CRISPR system that Zhang and others have developed into powerful genome-editing tools.

Such trials are years away. But someday, Tepper suggests, many nasty substances (such as microplastics, pharmaceuticals and PFAS) could perhaps be neutralized with the tweak of a genome.

Our findings present the first-ever evidence that violence can leave epigenetic marks on the genome, which has important implications for understanding evolution and how traumatic experiences can ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and a new-to-nature ...

Danio rerio has been used as a model to test the action of pesticides in terms of genotoxicity, and these results have been extrapolated to the human genome (Hawkey et al., 2020). Thus, this study ...

Using the file, you can then generate a .bed file for the target gene symbols listed in the "target_gene.txt" file with the following command: perl BED_Craft.pl target_gene.txt -genome ...

Scientists have assembled the most complete Tasmanian tiger genome to date from a century-old pickled head, providing a full DNA blueprint to potentially bring the extinct species back to life.

The genome of the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) takes the cake at a staggering 91 billion base pairs of DNA, according to a study published last week in the journal Nature.
