Each cell has their own genetic code that helps maintain viability and directs function. This genetic code is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. DNA is the molecule that carries ...
The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...
A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly developed form of CRISPR at UNSW Sydney points to a safer way of treating ...
Researchers develop a groundbreaking genomic mapping to reveal how genes interact to cause diseases, paving the way for ...
Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Recent breakthroughs in genetics research may have uncovered new genes underlying common psychiatric disorders. Schizophrenia and ...
Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?
We're living in a moment where science fiction is becoming medical reality. Imagine a world where doctors can simply rewrite the genetic code that condemns someone to a lifetime of suffering.No more ...
To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most genetic medicine uses viruses or double-stranded DNA to deliver genetic ...
