Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful new genetic toolkit that allows scientists to study how genes ...

“It’s tough to watch everybody get sick,” she adds. “You live in constant worry.” ...

A Japanese research team pushed mouse cloning to its breaking point, producing 1,206 clones from a single donor line before the process collapsed at the 58th generation. The experiment, one of the ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — There is a rare gene mutation linked to sudden cardiac death and heart failure called phospholamban (PLN). It may not be very common worldwide, but likely more so in West Michigan ...

Revealing the ​limitations of cloning, researchers who repeatedly cloned mice for two decades have discovered that such serial duplication triggers grave genetic mutations that accumulate over ...

Modulating alternative splicing of the MECP2 gene has been identified as a potential therapeutic strategy for Rett syndrome. A team of researchers at Texas Children’s Duncan Neurological Research ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

When the Chernobyl power plant explosion scattered ionizing radiation all over Europe, the damage it dealt lasted much longer than the initial blast. Researchers sequenced the genomes of Chernobyl ...

An international team of scientists headed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, has created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene, CTNNB1, influence ...

Gene duplication events in European eels have restored cell membrane permeability for urea and boric acid through mutated aquaporin genes. “The aromatic/arginine (ar/R) selectivity filter is a narrow ...
