Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team ...

Emerging gene editing platforms are revolutionizing precision medicine, enabling safe and effective genetic modifications for ...

Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

Scientists discovered a new gene family on the Y chromosome of deer mice, challenging the belief that the chromosome only ...

Typically, the information encoded in DNA allows organisms to develop, function, and pass traits across generations. Yet DNA ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

DNA is often called the blueprint of life, but what does that really mean? Elizabeth Worthey, Ph.D., associate professor, Department of Genetics in the Heersink School of Medicine, explains everything ...

It’s in vaping’s DNA. Initially marketed as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes carry some ...
