Human fertility hinges on a delicate molecular ballet that begins even before birth. UC Davis researchers have uncovered how special protein networks safeguard chromosomes as eggs and sperm form, ...

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is?

Stanford researchers and their collaborators have revealed a new device that could change the way scientists conduct gene-editing experiments. The device, CRISPR-GPT, is an artificial intelligence lab ...

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things—including a crucial event that happened while she was still growing inside her own mother's womb. It depends on the ...

Researchers have developed a new lipid for delivering mRNA that is safer and more effective than current technologies. By changing the chemistry of one key ingredient in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), ...

A quiet but critical DNA process that begins even before birth may hold the key to understanding infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and genetic conditions like Down syndrome. Researchers at UC Davis ...
