A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...

Humans have selectively bred animals and crops since the beginning of agriculture, but advances in biotechnology have provided genetic tools to select specific traits. First applied to animals in the ...

Denisovans, a mysterious human relative, left behind far more than a handful of fossils—they left genetic fingerprints in modern humans across the globe. Multiple interbreeding events with distinct ...

An Ice Age double burial in Italy has yielded a stunning genetic revelation. DNA from a mother and daughter who lived over 12,000 years ago shows that the younger had a rare inherited growth disorder, ...

The conversation on GMOs has recently gained widespread attention. It refers to an organism whose genetic material has been altered in the laboratory using genetic engineering techniques such as ...

Surgeons have now published the first report of a gene-edited pig liver transplanted into a person. The liver, which came from a genetically modified pig, appeared to stay active, producing bile and ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

Over the past century, worldwide consumption of food-animal products such as meat, milk, and eggs has steadily grown due to increases in global population and per capita income that fuel demand for ...
