CRISPRware is a new tool scientists can use to design the best guide RNAs to edit genes in many organisms, without the need for deep bioinformatics expertise. By making gene editing more precise and ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote.

Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Creating genomes from DNA is hugely important for managing threatened species—understanding their past and how they have ...

Dating back more than 4,500 years, the skeleton belonged to a middle-aged man who may have worked as a potter and likely ...

What will the next decade bring for myelofibrosis care? Drs Jain and Pemmaraju explore futuristic therapies, earlier ...

This important study looks into the effect of exogenous CoA on the response of TLR4-activated macrophages. Specifically, CoA enhances the LPS response by examining metabolomics, 13C tracing, and ...

Genome evolution is the process by which a genome changes in structure over time, through mutation, horizontal gene transfer, and sexual reproduction. The study of genome evolution involves ...

For example, when the first draft of the human genome was published in 2003, scientists were surprised to find that sequence analysis revealed only around 25,000 genes, instead of the 50,000 to ...
