Data archiving on DNA will allow us to preserve present and future human knowledge in a lasting and ecological way: this is where we are.
Techniques improve and results improve: with the world's first cloning of an Arctic wolf, our chances of saving (or bringing back to life) endangered species grow.
A team of researchers has created a new hair loss treatment using genetic modification techniques.
A new genetic modification can increase photosynthesis and uptake of fertilizers in rice, wheat and other crops. The effect is a 40% higher yield with reduced curing times.
A study by some geneticists and archaeologists has shown that the lineage of man's best friend, the dog, can be traced back to at least two specific populations of ancient wolves. Finally we will be able to find out how (and where) we went from the wild wolf to the domesticated dog.
The red-hot ash that devastated Pompeii almost 2.000 years ago killed the inhabitants, but it also preserved many things: even their DNA.
The futurologist predicts in her latest book written with a geneticist that parenting could have very different dynamics in the future.
3 faces of Egyptian mummies have been reconstructed from their DNA with a combination of genetics and forensic techniques
Scientists have begun to think about creating a woolly elephant-mammoth hybrid, with the first cubs expected in six years.
Gene therapies will transform medicine, save millions of lives and cure dozens of diseases, even rare ones. But they will cost too much. How to do?
Decades to get there, then finally in 2001 the sequencing of the human genome. Was it complete? No. Today, finally a complete sequence. Maybe.
Fighting the infection that causes Covid-19 is not just a matter of vaccines. Research has identified genes responsible for the infection, and works to derive therapeutic options
20 years after the unveiling of the human genome, science can now sequence many more in less time: it will soon have the data it needs to unlock many secrets of genetics.
A team of German and Japanese scientists implanted human genes in a monkey embryo and obtained a brain extension.
The change in HLA, a component of the immune system, affects the severity of the course. The study can find the individuals who risk the most.
A joint study manages to isolate and identify DIRC3, a molecule that suppresses skin cancer. New hopes to stop melanoma.
The reason for the post-mortem reactivation remains unknown: it is now evident that death is a much more complicated process than we thought.
The CRISPR test will cure an inherited form of blindness in subjects with healthy eyes, but without the gene that converts light into signals that produce vision.
Large-scale genomic analysis carried out by as many as 100 academics around the world has identified 8 genetic variants linked to anorexia.
