This latest era of medicine is quickly being defined by the breakthroughs we’re making in genetics. Thanks to tools like CRISPR, there’s a ton of interest in treating and curing diseases that have a ...
Scientists last year finished the momentous task of completely mapping the human genome — an accomplishment that, by comparing it with an individual's genetic information, helps catch problems that ...
When the Human Genome Project sequenced 92 per cent of the human genome in 2003, it revolutionized our understanding of genetics and its role in human health, evolution and biology. Nearly two decades ...
We propose to generate high-density whole genome maps in nano-channels by combining Cas9- guide-RNA (gRNA) sequence-specific DNA labeling and motif-based DNA labeling. Cas9-guide- RNA (gRNA) DNA ...
The evolutionary history of dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), domesticated over 14,000 years ago, includes artificial selection, population bottlenecks, and inbreeding, which has resulted in over 400 ...
An artist's illustration of a DNA double helix. Genes make up only a small part of human DNA, and until recently, the function of the rest of the genetic material was unclear. The new Encyclopedia of ...
Carolyn Abraham is a science journalist and the author of The Juggler’s Children: A Journey into Family, Legend and the Genes that Bind Us, a bestselling memoir that explored the power of DNA tests to ...
Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) was the first wheat species domesticated by humans, around 10,000 years ago, playing an important role in the establishment of agriculture in the Middle East. Now, ...
