COMMENTARY: Why is this latest development generally being hailed as a scientific milestone rather than a giant ethical ...

The breakthrough could one day allow doctors to repair disease-causing mutations in embryos.

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 ...

Within bacterial cells, specialized immune systems known as retrons fend off viral attacks. But that's not all they can do. Scientists, including Seth Shipman, Ph.D., at Gladstone Institutes, have ...

Gene editing is a group of technologies that enable scientists to precisely alter an organism's DNA. These technologies allow for the addition, removal, or alteration of genetic material at specific ...

RNA could be considered DNA’s younger sibling. From the very beginning, RNA’s milestones came later and attracted less attention than DNA’s milestones. For example, the discovery of DNA’s structure ...
