The rollout of a type of genetic technology called a gene drive for tackling malaria could be edging closer after a lab study ...

Just 48 hours after her birth in a Seattle-area hospital in 2021, Layla Babayev was undergoing surgery for a bowel obstruction. Two weeks later, she had another emergency surgery, and then developed ...

Modern crop breeding is entering a new era of genome design, led by genome editing technologies as mainstream tools for targeted genome modification. In a review published in Nature Reviews Genetics, ...

Arpita Bose and Zhecheng Zhang explore genetic tools in environmental microbes, citing applications in extracellular electron transfer ...

Radboudumc is the first hospital in the world to use a new genetic test on a large scale in clinical practice. This test provides more people with a diagnosis for rare conditions and is faster and ...

A noninvasive blood test to detect genetic material shed by tumors may help clinicians identify adverse events related to ...

A new liquid biopsy developed by researchers at the University of Chicago is offering a powerful new window into cancer’s earliest stages by flagging subtle shifts in the gut microbiome. Unlike ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Liquid biopsies have transformed cancer testing. These tests detect signs of cancer using a simple blood draw instead of removing tissue from the body. Traditional biopsies involve surgery, needles, ...
