We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

The EU has relaxed its rules on gene-editing. Now, only some gene-edited crops are regulated by the stringent GMO directive.

Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...

Gene editing is the intentional modification of a genetic locus in a living cell and is used for two general applications of great importance and wide interest. One is the inactivation of genes ...

Gene editing of plant DNA has the potential to produce crops with increased performance and resilience, but it can take a ...

The EU has eased restrictions on crops developed using novel genetic techniques. While supporters say the technology could ...

Gene editing in plants is a two-part problem requiring both the delivery of gene editing reagents to cells and the generation of plants from those cells. Traditional means for accomplishing these ...

Volatile macroeconomic events are magnified in life science and healthcare applications, which are capital intensive, long-term investments with associated regulatory, safety, and commercial risks.

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...

Cardiovascular diseases could be among the world’s first medical conditions to be treated by changing a patient’s genes. If ongoing phase 3 trials succeed, gene editing will offer a novel therapy for ...

The European Parliament has approved new rules for gene-edited crops, easing restrictions on some new genomic techniques ...
