Human DNA in its natural state inside cells (left) compared to eight hours after being infected with HSV-1 (right). The virus compacts the human genome's size significantly and moves it towards ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

Human genome mapping uncovers 50,000 mysterious DNA structures. Nearly 200 New Changes Per Person. On average, every person has around 200 new genetic changes that neither parent has.

GenEditBio Announces First Patient Dosed in Investigator-Initiated Trial of GEB‑101, World's First In Vivo CRISPR-Cas Ribonucleoprotein-Based Genome Editing Investigational Therapy for TGFBI ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial ...

I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has at least heard of the Human Genome Project. They might not be able to tell you much about the specifics of what it ...

Sequencing the entire human genome has opened new avenues in genetic research. The T2T Consortium recently finished a complete assembly of a human Y chromosome and non-human ape genomes, and McCoy's ...

He Jiankui, PhD, displays genome sequences of gene-edited twins, Lule and Nana, at the International Summit on Human Genome Editing in Hong Kong in 2018. [National Academies] ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

This work is supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under grant numbers U41HG010972 and UM1HG010971.

Human genome editing historically has allowed for precise alterations of single base pairs by excising or inserting new sequences at a single location along the DNA strand. However, conventional gene ...
