For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Improving the genetic circuits in eukaryotic protein production systems—like human cell lines or Chinese hamster ovaries—has the potential to enhance their value so they may offer not only their own ...

When people think of genomics, they typically don’t visualize the primary care setting — but Northshore–Edward Elmhurst Health is trying to change that. Genomics is a key part of the health system’s ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

Reverse genetics systems allow the functions of genes to be determined by changing an individual gene and observing the result, creating what is known as a recombinant virus. They are powerful tools ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

Since its breakthrough development more than a decade ago, CRISPR has revolutionized DNA editing across a broad range of fields. Now scientists are applying the technology's immense potential to human ...
