Anyone living with hereditary risk or watching gene-editing headlines needs the moral history those tools still carry. · 0 ...

Scientists have discovered a human gene with a remarkable double life: it appears to play an important role in brain cells while still retaining the ability to jump around the genome. Called BC200, ...

Thousands of new genes are hidden inside the “dark matter” of our genome. Previously thought to be noise left over from evolution, a new study found that some of these tiny DNA snippets can make ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

The use of a precise gene editing technique to edit human embryos has caught the attention of academics and society, yet ...
