Blood cancer is an umbrella term for a variety of diseases that affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. Like most ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

A new machine-learning approach helps scientists more efficiently identify the optimal intervention to achieve a certain outcome in a complex system, such as genome regulation, requiring far fewer ...

That rogue scientist who created HIV-resistant designer babies is apparently gearing up for more human gene-editing research. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, He Jiankui said he wants to ...

In the late 2010s eight macaque monkeys were born at a laboratory in Shanghai. At first they seemed much like the other infants in the colony, but differences soon became obvious. They were much more ...

Almost 100 years ago, Carrie Buck was raped, labeled an “imbecile,” and sterilized by order of the state — all in the name of genetic progress. Today, we no longer use that word, but the dream of ...

When a cell divides, the genome has to be duplicated, then the two copies separate, with one going to each daughter cell. But there have been whole genome duplication events in organisms in which both ...

A new analysis has revealed detailed information about genetic variation in brain cells that could open new avenues for the targeted treatment of diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease ...
