A gene called KLF5 may be a key force behind the spread of pancreatic cancer—but not in the way scientists expected. Rather than mutating DNA, it rewires how genes are turned on and off, helping ...

Researchers have unveiled CREsted, a comprehensive software powerhouse. CREsted doesn’t just describe how DNA works; it allows scientists to design entirely new, synthetic enhancers—short DNA ...

Unlike traditional longevity companies that focus on slowing down the ageing process, Clock.bio aims to reverse it. They leverage the unique properties of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) ...

The authors describe the scientific foundations of a study of gene therapy for hearing loss caused by damaging variants in the gene OTOF. Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, ...

When an Amazon molly says she doesn't need a man, believe her. Every single one of these small fish, found in freshwater streams in Mexico and Southern Texas, is female, and reproduces exclusively ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers analyzed 10,000 to reveal how variants shape gene activity. (Nanowerk News) ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Cystinosis is a multisystemic lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in CTNS, the gene encoding cystinosin, a lysosomal transmembrane cystine transporter. In patients with cystinosis ...

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely a mystery. By Carl Zimmer In 2024, two scientists from Google DeepMind ...

In 2018, a nervous-looking He Jiankui took the stage at a scientific conference in Hong Kong. A hush settled over the packed auditorium as the soft-spoken Chinese scientist adjusted his microphone and ...
