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

A new annotation approach based on cross-species conservation reveals regulatory roles of transposons in human development.

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

The discovery of ancient human cousins has long stirred wonder and debate. Early Neanderthal remains offered a glimpse into our distant past, prompting questions about how they lived and whether they ...
