Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

The genetic network of BTB zinc finger transcription factors and Eip93F is crucial for Kenyon cell identity regulation and neuronal function acquisition in the construction of Drosophila mushroom ...

CRISPR gene drives bias inheritance in pests, advancing population-level control while raising questions about resistance and ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic ...

Clinical-stage biotechnology company Jaguar Gene Therapy has completed dosing in Cohort I of its first-in-human clinical ...

UCLA researchers use lipid nanoparticles to insert full CFTR gene into airway cells, restoring function and opening new avenues for CF therapy.

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...
