For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in ...

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

Scientists analyze 4.3 billion dipeptides across species to trace genetic code evolution and early protein development.

Earth is far from a static place. That's true in the present, but it's even more apparent when you look to the past, as Earth ...

Scientists are hoping to use genetic engineering to reduce the transmission of Lyme disease. The scientists' target is not ...

What if, instead of trying to fix different gene mutations for different people, one could simply replace the entire mutated ...

A common bacterium was genetically engineered to eat a plastic-derived molecule and then digest it to produce the everyday ...

Scientists hope genetically modified mice will curb the spread of Lyme disease. They headed to Nantucket — home to a large ...

This research underscores how biology and computation are merging. Generative AI — already used to design proteins and ...

The Y chromosome, the male relation genetic signature, has been a mystery to scientists for centuries. It’s the most repetitive and complex region of the human genome, and never before was it possible ...
