Fixing a single typo in a book is easy. But if that book is the blueprint for a person yet to be born, the story changes. A ...

A preprint describing genetically edited human embryos is raising concerns among scientists that the U.S. is becoming more ...

D&D‑seq uses base editing to record DNA–protein interactions in single cells, enabling multiomics mapping of transcription ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized ...
