The koala now ranks among a few species observed escaping a genetic bottleneck, in this case caused by overhunting that peaked 100 years ago.

Several children in the UAE, facing developmental delays and muscle weakness underwent standard genetic tests only for the ...

The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine is working to raise awareness of an often hidden gene mutation that’s linked to Dutch ancestry. The PLN gene acts as a sort of “dimmer switch” ...

Fresh DNA sequencing from 302 strays exposes 390 unique genes near the plant, challenging everything we thought about radiation survivors.

Stanford Medicine researchers have built CRISPR-GPT, a large language model designed to automate the full arc of gene-editing ...

Can humans live on almost no water when our bodies are largely made up of water? A Kenyan community has been doing just that for thousands of years. Scientists now know why their bodies allow them to ...

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human ...

A new study has found a rare genetic mutation that allows some of us to get only a few short hours of sleep and wake up feeling fully rested and wide awake.

UC San Diego researchers have created an improved version of an earlier base editor that achieves high editing efficiency while minimizing unwanted bystander edits. The new tool enhances precision ...

Humans really do rule the world. We took over fast and far, more than any other wild vertebrates. We inhabit nearly every ...
