A facility built for a shortage “These aren’t your standard farm pigs. Millions of dollars have been spent to create this ...

Scientists at a NY university say they can bring back the near extinct American chestnut tree, wiped out a century ago, through genetic modification.

Scientists have taken a surprising step toward unlocking regeneration in mammals, showing that the ability to rebuild complex body parts may not be lost after all—it may simply be switched off. Using ...

A comprehensive analysis of 173,303 genomes from Pakistan, published today in Nature, is upending how scientists understand human genetics and drug development. By identifying 34,000 people who are ...

A parasite is one step closer to becoming a drug dispensary. Using CRISPR-based gene editing, scientists have engineered hookworms that live in the human gut to make an antibody against a deadly toxin ...

A preprint describing genetically edited human embryos is raising concerns among scientists that the U.S. is becoming more accepting of using gene editing to enhance embryos. “The cat’s out of the bag ...

A group of scientists led by Dieter Egli has demonstrated base editing in human embryos. Base editing was shown to precisely edit embryonic DNA but also resulted in off-target edits and mosaicism.

Chris Kaelin, a geneticist at Stanford Medicine, found himself thinking about cats. Not just any cats, but the loud, lovable, and often male ones streaked in unmistakable marmalade. These orange ...
