A gene borrowed from the naked mole rat, an animal famous for extraordinary longevity and disease resistance, helped mice live a little longer and stay healthier, pointing to a surprising biological ...
Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...
Using gene editing technology, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University have, for the first time, successfully excised a segment of HIV-1 DNA - the virus responsible for ...
Gene therapy that can cross the blood–brain barrier represents a non-invasive way to map gene expression in the brains of ...
A new study reveals that habitat fragmentation can lead to sudden "tipping points" where a species' genetic health ...

'Supersteaks' to be available in three years thanks to gene-editing technology, expert says
Scientists have bred cows with ‘elite genetics’ that could see tastier steaks, burgers and mince on supermarket shelves in the UK in just three years. Experts in the US have come up with a way to make ...
At a meeting of top conservation groups this week, a bioethics question took center stage: Should scientists be allowed to tinker with the genes of wild plants and animals? The tentative consensus so ...
An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...
Why personalized gene editing, genetic resurrections and embryo scoring made our list. Earlier this week, MIT Technology Review published its annual list of Ten Breakthrough Technologies. As always, ...
Researchers developed a gene therapy for LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy that restored muscle and nerve function in mice. One treatment stabilized disease progression and improved strength, even when ...
Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...
