Gene editing could add genetic diversity that can revitalise species on the brink of extinction.
Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Figuring out whether de-extinction is possible is as much a technical puzzle as a philosophical one. Add two kinds of DNA to the mix, and it gets even more complex.
Doctors examine a tumor in several different ways to determine whether a cancer is aggressive – and what kinds of treatments, if any, might work best.
Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body − and can clarify how diseases develop.
By understanding a patient’s unique genetic profile, biomarker readings and lifestyle information, doctors could tailor the most effective and safest treatments for that individual.
Are new approaches to recreating long-lost animals simply creating imitations?
The animals are an imitation, but the technology used to create them could have wide-ranging applications.
If you were a 23andMe customer, your genetic and personal information could be used in civil or criminal cases, targeted advertising, medical discrimination and so much more.
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing services carry considerable privacy risks, as the bankruptcy filing of Cailfornia-based 23andMe has revealed.
Scientists have described antimicrobial resistance as an overlooked pandemic. Improving surveillance can help prevent deadly outbreaks.
“De-extinction” research is a poor alternative to helping ‘pre-extinction’ animals still alive today.
The “woolly mice” have the thick, shaggy hair of mammoths, along with a fat metabolism gene.
Genetics shows that women stayed put in Late Iron Age Dorset, while men moved to other groups.
What might an updated newborn screening program look like?
Using digital blueprints of the metabolism of microbes, scientists can simulate expensive and time-intensive experiments set in space, power plants and farm fields.
In 2019, the giant mountain ash Centurion narrowly escaped death by fire. But other giant trees were not so lucky. Gathering genetic material from giants is vital
By analyzing the resistance genes and proteins of E. coli, researchers can optimize treatments to address both current and future antimicrobial resistance.
New techniques monitor the health of lakes in real time by analyzing their microbiome to anticipate and respond to environmental threats such as cyanobacteria.
