A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

Gene editing is a group of technologies that enable scientists to precisely alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or alteration of genetic material at specific ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few humans to treat disease. Since its invention, scientists have improved, ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.
