MIT researchers have dramatically lowered the error rate of prime editing, a technique with promise for treating numerous ...

There's a window of time in our lives we've all passed through yet still know so little about: early gestation. Researchers have found a pair of genetic deletions associated with schizophrenia that ...

The error rate of a promising gene-editing tool can be reduced up to 60-fold by introducing mutations that change where the ...

In a global first, UConn Health, in collaboration with Connecticut Children's, has dosed a patient in a groundbreaking clinical trial testing gene editing technology to treat glycogen storage disease ...

In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

AMES, Iowa — Scientists have studied DNA, the basic unit of life, for a long time. And in the past couple decades, geneticists have created nanoparticles out of DNA's two helix strands. Look back at ...

Until recently, even the most advanced gene therapies could only be given after a child was born—often racing against time to prevent irreversible damage. In the first part of this series, we explored ...
