Traditional breeding and genetic modification methods have struggled to keep pace with the rapid evolution of plant viruses. CRISPR/Cas systems, originally derived from bacterial immune responses, ...

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Advances in cancer immunotherapy from immune checkpoint modulation to adoptive cell transfer of tumour-infiltrating ...

The U.S. government is divesting from mRNA vaccines, but will other uses of the technology be spared? In a time of ...

Some of the most expensive drugs currently in use are gene therapies to treat specific diseases, and their high cost limits ...

The technology could potentially cut down on the costs of time-consuming simulations and experiments and make it easier to ...

Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code ... “The next step is to fully learn the engineering ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...

The human body relies on precise genetic instructions to function, and cancer begins when these instructions get scrambled.
