Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Only a few years ago, Tuesday’s announcement that a glove believed to be connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Tucson, Arizona, had no match in a DNA database would have been a dead end.

Although DNA evidence collected in the Nancy Guthrie investigation has yet to yield matches, law enforcement is still bracing for results that could expose cracks in the southern Arizona case ...

TUCSON, Ariz. — As the Nancy Guthrie case enters week three, investigators and the public are awaiting potentially pivotal DNA results tied to a glove recovered near the scene. But according to ...

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held assumption in genetics research. What researchers once thought were knots ...

The Athletic has live coverage of transfer deadline day. Crystal Palace are close to reaching a verbal agreement to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Palace want to strengthen ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Here’s how extinct DNA could help us in the present—and the future. Yeah, we know—it’s not a dire wolf. In early 2025, the Texas biotech company Colossal Biosciences landed with a splash on the cover ...

In a first, scientists have extracted DNA from a Renaissance-era drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but they can't be sure that the genetic material belongs to the Italian polymath. When you ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

Medical scientist Eduardo Marbán – then at Johns Hopkins and now Cedars-Sinai – found that heart progenitor cells also have a special mechanism where they send out sacs, known as exosomes, which carry ...
