DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Some genetic disorders-such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease-involve many mutations in a person's genome, often with enough variation that even two individuals who share the same ...

In 2021, a technology developed at University of Michigan, called Seq-Scope, revolutionized the ability to map gene activity ...

Some gene therapy treatments use modified adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) like the one shown here to deliver therapeutic genetic material into a patient’s cells. In a finding with implications for one ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

Scientists looked at multiple techniques used to measure the modified viruses deployed in some gene therapy research and treatments. One technique, known as SEC-MALS, was the most precise and accurate ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...

In a notable advancement, scientists have developed an efficient gene functional analysis method for peach seedlings, overcoming longstanding hurdles in genetic transformation. Utilizing a TRV-based ...

Some genetic disorders-such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease-involve many mutations in a person's genome, often with enough variation that even two individuals who share the same ...

Early results from 4,000 babies show that genome sequencing picks up many more serious health conditions than standard newborn screening and is favored by most parents. Early results from a study of ...
