Gene-edited animals or plants wouldn’t have a chance if released into a barren habitat or a poaching hotspot. Genomic tools ...

Using data from the T2T reference, scientists linked two new genes to changes in brain size and synapse signaling.

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain features and provides a road map to discover many more. The research could lead ...

PROTEUS, a system designed to harness “directed evolution,” can speed the process up by years, or even decades.

Gene editing may hold the key to rescuing endangered species—not just by preserving them, but by restoring their lost genetic ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk" ...

For example, gene editing could help restore lost genetic diversity to species with small populations. They say it also could help by removing harmful mutations, or introducing new genes from closely ...
