Disinfectants induce oxidative damage in bacteria, but a single mutation triggers the expression of genes that help the ...

Genetic alterations may help mosquitoes adjust to climate change, shifting the distribution of mosquito-borne disease in a ...

Encasing CRISPR tools in oil droplets offers a fast-track approach to conducting extensive genetic screens in animals.

Researchers at Cellectis leveraged gene editing to create a CAR T cell that acts in an IF/THEN system. Traditional methods to develop CAR T cells that use the patient’s cells introduce challenges ...

Both Cas9 and Cas12a cleave DNA, but they differ in how they cut the molecule.

Genetic medicines could treat certain diseases, however, the current delivery systems available—viral vectors and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)—pose unique challenges for gene therapy applications. For ...

A single gene controls earwax and body odor, shaping one’s unique scent through microbes. In 2006, scientists identified the culprit: the ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 11 ( ABCC11) gene. 1 A ...

An unprecedented federal ban on scientific meetings halts research progress, sparking widespread concern across the ...

Scientists increase the efficiency and scalability of their single-cell RNA sequencing experiments by using innovative barcoding technology.

Scientists identify a signaling pathway that triggers muscle fatigue in response to nervous system inflammation or infections ...

By using genetic material from two male mice, researchers successfully created pups that survived to adulthood, offering ...

Unlike plants, animals can’t carry out photosynthesis to generate our own oxygen, yet our brains rely on oxygen to make the massive amounts of energy needed to function. In a study published today ...
