Human, chimpanzee and gorilla brain organoids reveal how shared genes operate differently, offering clues to stem-cell shape ...

Behavioural genetics is the interdisciplinary effort to establish causal links between genes and animal (including human) behavioural traits and neural mechanisms. Methods used include twin studies, ...

Scientists at Cornell University have found a human genetic element in a poxvirus and discovered that it is both an important gene for brain function and a jumping gene capable of moving and inserting ...

Two mysterious human relatives left their genetic footprints in the modern human genome alongside the DNA of Neanderthals and Denisovans, underscoring the fact that our ancestors interbred with many ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence ...

Researchers say BC200’s double life has never been seen before. The implications aren’t comforting.

Shanghai Immunocan Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Immunocan”) today announced the successful in situ replacement of megabase (Mb)-scale ...

We share many of our genes with chimpanzees and gorillas, but our brains grow much larger. A new study suggests that part of the difference may come from how brain cells use those shared genes.

What if you could precisely change the genome of a pre-implantation human embryo and then safely use that embryo to try to generate a healthier person? It’s a wild idea, but one that technology over ...
