We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

A patient death in a CRISPR trial halts gene editing studies, raising critical safety questions. What this means for the ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...
