OGM was selected as a genome-wide, unbiased method to detect large genomic rearrangements and structural variants (SVs) with sensitivity to variant allele fractions (VAFs) as low as 5% to analyze ...

For the first time, scientists have found a way to efficiently and precisely remove genes from white blood cells of the immune system and to insert beneficial replacements, all in far less time than ...

Some genetic disorders-such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease-involve many mutations in a person's genome, often with enough variation that even two individuals who share the same ...

"A lot of the existing gene-editing methods are restricted to one or two mutations, which leaves a lot of people behind," said Jesse Buffington, a graduate student at UT and co-author of a new paper ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new “color-coded” genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes. This innovation can help solve a major bottleneck in mosquito control ...

spreading malaria, it was announced today. Biologists Zhiqian Li and Ethan Bier from UCSD, and Yuemei Dong and George Dimopoulos from Johns Hopkins University, created a CRISPR-based gene-editing ...

“Thus, this new site-specific and cassette mutagenesis method is highly efficient, fast and versatile, likely resulting in its wide use for typical biomedical research, as well as for engineering and ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Significant amounts of time and resources ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. A patient in a late-stage gene editing trial for a rare heart condition died from fatal liver complications after receiving an ...
