Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

DNA thin films and nanostructures represent a versatile class of materials that exploit the inherent self-assembly, molecular recognition, and programmability of deoxyribonucleic acid. Over recent ...

Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: confusion over reference sequences. These sequences serve as blueprints for ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...

Romulus and Remus are the genetically modified gray wolves that Colossal Biosciences endowed with traits of the extinct dire wolf. (Credit: Colossal Biosciences) Last week, Colossal Biosciences made ...

Before the DNA revolution of the early 2000s, genealogy was a study dependent on records. Tracing a line of heritage could hit a dead end if documentation had gone missing or been destroyed. But as ...
