How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

In 2021, a technology developed at the University of Michigan, called Seq-Scope, revolutionized the ability to map gene ...

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 ...

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and ...

Gene editing refers to the precise alteration of an organism's DNA sequence at a specific locus. In cancer treatment, this technology is leveraged to modify the genetic makeup of cancer cells, either ...

Scientists at Texas A&M are turning an everyday pick-me-up into a high-tech medical switch. By combining caffeine with CRISPR gene editing, researchers have created a system that allows cells to be ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic “base pairs” to a new level of precision, opening the door to safer, more ...

This study presents a valuable finding on the mutational order for common alterations in colorectal cancer. The evidence of in vitro growth assays comparing mutations is solid, although inclusion of ...

University of Edinburgh spin-out BIOCAPTIVA secures £1.58m funding and launches its msX liquid biopsy technology in the US to improve cancer diagnostics and research.
