A review finds that antibiotic resistance genes—capable of undermining modern medicine—can travel through the air across both ...

This semester, the students were tasked with cloning four of the TChen genes and putting them through the testing process.

For decades, scientists have debated how much of our lifespan is written into our DNA and how much is shaped by the world around us. New research is tilting that balance toward biology, suggesting ...

A key cancer-fighting gene in leukemia is switched off—not broken—and scientists from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) have found ...

A gene-edited mouse created with two male parents has now survived to reach adulthood. This is a momentous occasion for genetics, as previous attempts to create bi-paternal mice have failed for a ...

The length of your life may depend more upon your genes than scientists thought. Once you remove from consideration events that cut life short — such as infections and injury — genetics account for ...

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Compared to previous findings, the number is shocking.

NEW YORK (AP) — Neanderthals and humans likely mixed and mingled during a narrow time frame 45,000 years ago, scientists reported Thursday. Researchers analyzed ancient genes to pinpoint the time ...

Labrador retriever owners are likely familiar with how persistent their dogs can be in their quest for food, whether begging under the dinner table or stealing a snack left unattended. It’s no ...

Scientists used precise gene-editing to grow larger African eggplants. Credit: Zachary Lippman, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Tomatoes come in all kinds of colors, sizes, and flavors. But what’s going ...
