Genome editing lets scientists rewrite DNA, the instruction manual inside every living cell, with a precision that was unthinkable a generation ago. Technologies such as CRISPR have made this almost ...

Simultaneous tagging of multiple genes with different fluorophores provides a proof of concept for the scalability of tagging all genes in the Caenorhabditis elegans genome.

Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long alarmed bioethicists. By Carl Zimmer Scientists at Columbia University have ...

The US Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved the first gene therapy for inherited hearing loss, a one-time treatment that proved to be life-changing for a small number of children in a ...

An experimental gene therapy appears safe and highly effective for restoring hearing to people born with a rare form of deafness, researchers reported Wednesday. The study, the largest and longest to ...

New research shows Burmese pythons are more adaptable to cold than previously thought, using burrows to survive freezes. Ecologists warn that while python sightings in Brevard County are few, there ...

Burmese pythons, one of the state's most fearsome invasive species, have been an established presence in the Everglades for more the 25 years. Scientists thought for years salty water, predators, ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence ...

The authors describe the scientific foundations of a study of gene therapy for hearing loss caused by damaging variants in the gene OTOF. Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, ...
