Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base ...

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

Researchers have engineered a new class of adenine base editors that reduce unwanted bystander mutations by two to three times compared to the widely used ABE8e, while preserving the editing power ...

A desert community lives on a diet of blood and meat that would make most people sick.

In this study, researchers aimed to characterize the mutational landscape of the tumors of domestic cats to determine whether similarities to humans could translate to the clinic.

Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human cancers. Key mutations—like those linked to breast cancer—appear in both species ...

The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine is working to raise awareness of an often hidden gene mutation that’s ...

Some people have such bizarre genetics and medical histories that they feel like walking and talking statistical anomalies.

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.

A new study shows cultural evolution helped humans expand across Earth far faster than genetic change alone could achieve.

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 ...
