Scientists have built a synthetic cell from nonliving chemical components that can feed, grow, and reproduce similarly to a ...
Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that ...
In 2020, Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work on the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely modify DNA by cutting it at specific locations.
Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...
Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made ...
A team of researchers led by Professor Akitsu Hotta (Department of Clinical Application) developed a comprehensive framework ...
Scientists found that one tiny genetic change can completely alter how a coronavirus behaves in different species. Comparing ...

We’ve uncovered a master gene that switches on human development
We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...
Scientists at the University of Rochester pulled off a remarkable experiment: they transferred a longevity-related gene from the famously long-lived naked mole rat into mice, and the mice ended up ...
