After decades of intense focus on genetics, the biomedical research community is undergoing a major shift, focusing on a new framework called "exposomics." Similar to the way scientists work to map ...

A team of researchers at the Broad Institute, led by gene-editing pioneer David Liu, has developed a new genome-editing strategy that could potentially lead to a one-time treatment for multiple ...

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective caps are crucial to the stability of chromosomes, and when telomeres ...

In a recent study, Dr. Oszkár Schütz and his colleagues analyzed 156 ancient genomes from the Sarmatian period, spanning the 1st to 5th centuries CE. The aim of the study was to clarify the origins ...

Advanced biotechnology repurposes two bacterial immune systems to correct large stretches of DNA. Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark ...

Cro Magnon Man, a robust and powerful hominid of the Upper Paleolithic era, emerges from the shadows of prehistory, leaving behind skeletal remains primarily found in southern France. Classified as ...

Despite advances, whole genome sequencing — and with it the promise of early, life-altering therapies — still isn’t a routine part of care for most newborns. Many babies enter the world with silent ...

Santhosh Girirajan receives funding from the National Institutes of Health. Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, ...

In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery leveraged two main studies - one focused on ...
