We need to talk about human genome editing In a few decades, gene-editing technologies could reduce the likelihood of common human diseases. Societies must use this time to prepare for their arrival.

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...

The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in our collective understanding of human biology and disease. Crucial regions of ...

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 ...

OmniHuman-1, an advanced AI-driven human video generation model, has been introduced, marking a significant leap in multimodal animation technology. OmniHuman-1 enables the creation of highly lifelike ...

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 ...

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 ...

The first draft of the human genome came out 25 years ago. But writing DNA, or building it from scratch, is much harder. The researchers will begin by making sections of a human chromosome.
