Lurking within the genomes of nearly all species--including plants, fungi, and even humans--are genes that are passed from generation to generation with no clear benefit to the organism. Called ...

In a groundbreaking advancement for families grappling with the challenges of Dravet syndrome, a rare and life-altering form of epilepsy, scientists have developed a new gene replacement therapy in ...

Genetic switches could play a role in creating complex eukaryotic genetic circuits for programmed cell-free systems or artificial cells.

All "new GM" animals must be examined for intended and unintended effects to protect animals, health and nature – Testbiotech ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.
