Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering.

Somewhere in Michigan, 10,000 silkworms are spinning the future of supermaterials. They labor in the thick air of a warm, humid warehouse, pulling a sticky white strand from a gland in their face and ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

CRISPR gene drives bias inheritance in pests, advancing population-level control while raising questions about resistance and ...

Florida state Rep. Adam Anderson championed the Sunshine Genetics Act, the first state-backed genetic disease screening program in the nation. Anderson's son, Drew, died in 2019 from Tay-Sachs disease ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

Cytotrait is developing crop engineering technology for precise gene editing in plant organelles to enable crops with ...

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized ...

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.
