Scientists are one step closer to pinpointing fragments of Leonardo da Vinci’s elusive DNA. A team of researchers from the ...

Geneticist Dr. Robert Green is sequencing the DNA of healthy newborns to find hidden disease risks. This knowledge can save lives — but gene sequencing is not a crystal ball.

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

Some DNA passed down from ancient hunter-gatherers has been found to be a crucial force in living to be 100 years old.

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013, calling it the biggest ...

In a first, scientists have extracted DNA from a Renaissance-era drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but they can't be ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Researchers from Radboud university medical center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited ...

Researchers analyzed blood samples from polar bears located in northeastern and southeastern Greenland. The results showed ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution ...
