Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unlocked the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of a major ...

Your genetic code is not as logical as it could be. What if we could rewrite our genetic code, and make it more efficient, sensical and organized? Join Hank and dive deep into genetics in this fun ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

Scientists know that genetic factors can explain many of autism’s features - but have autism researchers been looking for ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

Thanks to genetic science, gene editing, and techniques like cloning, it’s now possible to move DNA through time, studying ...

Non-protein-coding genes have been linked to a hereditary condition, retinitis pigmentosa, that causes progressive blindness.

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Researchers at The University of Tokyo developed TECHNO, a two-step genome editing strategy that replaces entire mouse loci with human genomic DNA. The method integrates fragments over 200 kbp.
