Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

David Liu and Richard Merkin of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, along with Columbia professor Sam Sternberg, have developed a new, targeted means of inserting entire genes into human DNA ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

This figure depicts how bridge recombinases have a dual targeting capability that enable these systems to insert new genetic material, delete unwanted regions, or flip existing DNA segments all in a ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical minefield, with fears of a generation of ‘designer babies’ with pick ‘n’ mix ...

Women in their 60s and 70s could theoretically one day give birth to genetically related children, according to scientists pioneering a breakthrough technique that converts DNA from skin cells into ...

Human embryos have been developed from eggs created from adult skin cells – a feat that had previously been achieved in mice. This could one day provide a way for gay couples or women with fertility ...
