Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and ...

Scientists are hopeful it will improve understanding of how genes work, what goes wrong in disease, and how to fix it.

The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in which ...

Nucleome Therapeutics ('Nucleome' or 'the Company'), an immunology company tackling the root causes of disease through a revolutionary new approach to solving human genetics, is delighted that its ...

Oxford and Cambridge researchers who produced the image map which uncovers the secrets of why humans get disease say it ...

CRISPR-Cas9 has been editing the human genome for the past decade. Although the types of edits have varied, an unsolved challenge has been the integration of large pieces of DNA without ...

Genome editing is a powerful biotechnology tool that allows scientists to make precise changes to an organism's DNA. It involves the use of specialized enzymes, known as engineered nucleases or ...

(Nanowerk News) Building on the CRISPR gene-editing system, MIT researchers have designed a new tool that can snip out faulty genes and replace them with new ones, in a safer and more efficient way.
