Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

In 1933, geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for demonstrating that genes exist on chromosomes, which are passed down from parent to offspring. Ninety-one years ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

Key market opportunities in the global competent cells market include rising demands in genetic engineering and synthetic ...

Scientists have identified new gene modifications that can make tomatoes and eggplants grow bigger, which could help boost yields in developing countries. Humans have been genetically engineering ...

The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...

In a finding that vastly expands the understanding of tumor evolution, researchers discover genetic biomarkers that can predict the breast cancer subtype a patient is likely to develop. A Stanford ...

Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create human kidney disease in petri dishes. The achievement, believed to be the first of its kind, resulted ...

Genetic errors can cause many different diseases, and scientists have been looking for methods to fix those errors for decades. Although many gene therapies have aimed to correct errors in individual ...
