In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...

Using single-cell genomic sequencing, researchers identified somatic genetic mutations in the brains of CTE, RHI, and AD individuals.

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic editing platform that enables safe modification of multiple genes in primary ...

Regulators are supposed to abide by society's “bargain” with them: Civil servants are granted lifetime tenure and protected from political pressure and retaliation, and in return, they are supposed to ...

Two small genetic changes reshaped the human pelvis, setting our early ancestors on the path to upright walking, scientists say.

They detected clear chemical signatures in these remains, which indicated that lead exposure for these species dated back to at least two million years ago. Through high-precision laser-ablation ...

Putting the uniquely human version of a certain gene into mice changed the way that those animals vocalized to each other, suggesting that this gene may play a role in speech and language. Mice make a ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Genetic effects from radiation have been observed in a number of species to date. However, observations in humans are nearly nonexistent. In ...

Some conservation groups are calling for an effective ban on genetic modification, but others say these technologies are crucial for preserving biodiversity ...
