Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk and may be reversible.

Indonesia’s first effort to translocate a Javan rhino ended in loss when Musofa died days after his move to a protected facility in Ujung Kulon National Park. Officials said a necropsy found ...

Human egg cells are often prone to chromosomal errors. As women age, the error rate increases sharply — and can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and ...

Living systems are a bit like the traffic in a city: when the roads are repaired on a regular basis, the traffic flows. But if the roads are not maintained, wear and tear accumulates, disruptions ...

Translocations are chromosomal “cut and paste” errors that drive many lymphomas, a type of blood cancer and the sixth most common form of cancer overall. This includes mantle cell lymphoma, a rare but ...

A group of Chinese scientists has created powerful new tools that allow them to edit large chunks of DNA with incredible accuracy—and without leaving any trace. Using a mix of advanced protein design, ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems. The study, published online in Cell on August ...
