According to a recent international study, fragments of ancient viral DNA once considered "junk" may in fact play a role in ...

MIT researchers have dramatically lowered the error rate of prime editing, a genome-editing technique based on CRISPR. This advance could make it easier to develop gene therapy treatments for a ...

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been ...

Researchers have found that nearly three-quarters of the population carry newly identified genetic elements called Inocles, which may influence oral health, immunity, and cancer risk. Researchers at t ...

The method offers a scalable way to scour unculturable bacteria for new drug leads and help illuminate a previously hidden microbial world.

Most bacteria cannot be cultured in the lab—and that's been bad news for medicine. Many of our frontline antibiotics ...

Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...

This service was previously only exclusive to parkview patients; it is now open to everyone. You must enroll in the program ...

Tired of multi-stage genotyping workflows that slow down your sequencing projects? This high-throughput, one-step genotyping by sequencing method delivers accurate, reproducible data across species ...

How rapidly gene expression in a single cell changes over time can provide insight into how cells might become more specialized. A new method to calculate RNA velocity, developed by researchers at ...

Rex Heuermann is accused of killing at least seven women whose bodies were found on Long Island's Gilgo Beach.

A judge in the Gilgo Beach murders case ruled Wednesday that cutting-edge advanced DNA testing can be used in Rex Heuermann's upcoming trial on Long Island. It marks the first time such evidence could ...
