Researchers have identified fifteen genes that determine our facial features.
Researchers use a precision 3D cell-patterning technology called DNA-programmed assembly of cells (DPAC) to set up an initial spatial template of a tissue that then folds itself into complex shapes.
To avoid off-target mutations, scientists at the Salk Institute modified CRISPR to become a gene activator instead of a gene editor.
New techniques in DNA self-assembly allow researchers to create the largest to-date customizable patterns with nanometer precision on a budget.
The technology could have multiple applications, from identifying victims in a mass disaster to analyzing crime scenes.
Unnatural DNA used to encode unnatural proteins, all in otherwise normal cells.
US scientists have edited the DNA inside of a patient’s body, in an attempt to cure a genetic disorder by permanently changing the human genome. The news represents a major landmark in science.
Genes which determine animal complexity -- or what makes humans so much more complex than a fruit fly or a sea urchin -- have been identified for the first time.
German researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding the origin of the ageing process. They have identified that genes belonging to a process called autophagy promote health and fitness in young worms but drive the process of ageing later in life.
A great deal of mystery DNA has been found in the human gut.
Researchers have developed much more advanced RNA biocomputers that can handle more computations and complex logic. Ribocomputing is coming of age.
Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch.
A chance discovery has opened up a new method of finding unknown viruses.
Scientists have, for the first time, corrected a disease-causing mutation in early stage human embryos with gene editing.
Scientists from US have for the first time provided an unprecedented view of the 3D structure of human chromatin in the nucleus of living human cells.
