New York researchers took healthy human embryos and successfully modified their genetic code by focusing on a single letter.

DNA exists biologically as a highly dynamic macromolecular complex subject to myriad chemical modifications that alter its physiological interpretation, yet most sequencing technologies only measure ...

DNA modifications drive aging, neurodegeneration, carcinogenesis and chemotherapy drug action. Accurate mapping of diverse DNA modifications with single-nucleotide precision in complex genomes remains ...

Nagoya University researchers developed a silver nanoparticle-based technology to precisely cut and join DNA at targeted sites, achieving 2-5 times higher DNA assembly efficiency than conventional ...

Platform data establish Modified DNA’s potential to overcome two of the barriers that have kept DNA from becoming a practical medicine: innate immune activation and inefficient nuclear access ...

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical minefield, with fears of a generation of ‘designer babies’ with pick ‘n’ mix ...

LONDON — Work has begun on a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life from scratch, in what is believed to be a world first. The research has been taboo until now because of ...
