Unnatural DNA used to encode unnatural proteins, all in otherwise normal cells.
They’re designed to kill cancer cells, and they kill themselves in the process.
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.
Scientists have, for the first time, corrected a disease-causing mutation in early stage human embryos with gene editing.
The data is unpublished, but scientists say it advances effort to erase genetic diseases.
A Food and Drug Administration panel has recommended approval of a leukemia treatment that rewires a patient’s immune cells to fight cancer.
Researchers show that the inherited epigenetic instructions contribute in regulating gene expression in the offspring. Another study proves that mother's epigenetic memory is essential for the development and survival of the new generation.
A new study suggests an intriguing new way of viewing the genome in which nearly every gene impacts every other gene.
