Researchers at Cornell University have developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit ...

Researchers have identified how cells recognize and suppress transposons, mobile DNA elements that can destabilize genomes.

Researchers developed PRINCE, a small-molecule-controlled CRISPR system enabling precise, long-term regulation of gene editing.

A powerful molecular clock calibrated using data on gene activity from thousands of individuals can predicts biological ...

Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence, scientists are increasingly freed from the constraints of the laboratory. It raises questions about how much humans should outsource to robots.

ST. LOUIS — October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Month, and even though SIDS is the leading cause of death in infants from one month to one year old, there is new research that offers ...

Transposons, DNA sequences that can self-replicate and move (jump) throughout the genome, are widespread and can affect cell ...

Researchers hope to build a facility with thousands of robots capable of performing experiments independently by 2040.
