Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

For many diseases and chronic conditions, an individual's genes play a role in their likelihood of developing the disease. While some inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ...

For the first time and with the help of CRISPR technology: A new large-scale genetic modification method makes it possible to reveal the role and properties of duplicated genes in plants The ...

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...

There are thought to be trillions of microbes in the human gastrointestinal system. This community of microbes, known as the gut microbiome, has a major impact on various aspects of our health and ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin now have developed an improved method of gene editing that is precise, more efficient than other similar methods and can correct many disease-causing ...

The Idaho Fish and Game Department is implementing a new genetic-based method to determine Idaho’s wolf populations. Eric Cole USFWS Just a few years after the Idaho Department of Fish and Game ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant breeding can select for desirable traits, but is limited by the genetic ...
