Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.

Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) have developed a reverse genetics system for ...

Reverse genetics systems allow the functions of genes to be determined by changing an individual gene and observing the result, creating what is known as a recombinant virus. They are powerful tools ...

Since its breakthrough development more than a decade ago, CRISPR has revolutionized DNA editing across a broad range of fields. Now scientists are applying the technology's immense potential to human ...

Scientists from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) say they have developed a reverse genetics system ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

A massive study with over 6 million participants reveals genetic clusters behind 14 psychiatric disorders, opening the door to better diagnoses and treatments.

CRISPR promises revolutionary cures, but its edits aren’t always perfect. To tackle hidden risks, UC San Diego researchers developed the ICP system, which fingerprints genetic edits and shows how they ...

Blood cancer is an umbrella term for a variety of diseases that affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. Like most ...
