In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific ...

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

A DNA test could help match patients with psychiatric medications, potentially reducing the long and frustrating trial-and-error process.

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient’s cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of ...

Scientists announced DNA storage devices capable of rewriting, erasing, and storing data for centuries ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

A futuristic “DNA origami” vaccine platform may one day outperform mRNA shots while being easier to produce and distribute. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists have developed a new DNA origami–based ...
