In the Wang Lab, it's not unusual for worms to live for a long time. HHMI Janelia Research Campus Senior Group Leader Meng ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

A team led by scientists at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Broad Institute of MIT and ...

This mechanism for conferring longevity across generations could also explain how other stress-adaptive traits are passed to offspring.

According to The Standard, researchers at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization have used genetic ...

Researchers from Mass General Brigham and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have identified genetic modifications that ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research and collaborating institutions have developed a ...

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

The prime editor is a fusion protein consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) and an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT). The Cas9n is guided by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) ...
