Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons ...

Some genetic disorders—such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease—involve many mutations in a person's genome, ...

Because the new method can replace a large stretch of defective DNA with a healthy sequence, the same retron-based package can fix any combination of mutations within that stretch of DNA without ...

Researchers have identified molecular mechanisms behind age-related memory decline — and shown they can be reversed.

A research team has successfully engineered a japonica rice variety using CRISPR/Cas9 to simultaneously optimize plant ...

Virginia Tech scientists found that age-related memory loss stems from molecular changes in the brain. Memory decline might not be just a natural part of aging. Researchers at Virginia Tech have ...
