Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made ...

The market for smart glasses is becoming increasingly crowded, but the benefit for consumers is that makers are also ...

Why humans have a philtrum, the groove above your lip, explained by an evolutionary biologist — from embryonic face-building to vestigial anatomy.

A preprint describing genetically edited human embryos is raising concerns among scientists that the U.S. is becoming more accepting of using gene editing to enhance embryos. “The cat’s out of the bag ...

Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome editing technique ...

Plants must accurately time flowering by integrating seasonal temperature cues to ensure reproductive success. This Review describes how two mechanisms — rapid transcriptional responses and long-term ...

We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

These findings provide valuable pea genomic information and will facilitate the future genome-informed improvement of pea crops. Chromosome-scale genome assembly of a vegetable-type elite pea cultivar ...
