We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking genetic map. This resource identifies individuals at risk for high cholesterol and ...
