A team of researchers at the Broad Institute, led by gene-editing pioneer David Liu, has developed a new genome-editing strategy that could potentially lead to a one-time treatment for multiple ...

A habitat-building coralline algae that provides a vital nursing ground for marine species and an important blue carbon ecosystem has been genetically mapped around south-west Britain in a ...

Dr Arora explains that hair loss in women is often a symptom, not a disease - meaning it is usually preventable and reversible. If you’re noticing more hair on your pillow, in the shower drain, or on ...

Growth charts for children with rare genetic disorders - giving healthcare professionals and families clearer guidance on how a child is developing - have been created by an international team, led by ...

Debunked explains the real causes of hair loss and why people go bald. I Sat Next To A Gun 'Fanatic' On A Plane. When I Told Him What My Job Is, Things Got Interesting. Dwayne Johnson reacts to “The ...

When people talk about hair loss, they often mention stress, diet, or lifestyle. These factors matter, but genetics remain the strongest influence. The way your hair thins, the speed of loss, and the ...

The code of life is simple. Four genetic letters arranged in triplets—called codons—encode amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins, the machinery that powers life. But the genetic code ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

We have gone further than ever before in creating life that is unlike anything that has evolved naturally. The genome of an Escherichia coli bacterium has been redesigned on a computer to use just 57 ...

A woman has taken the internet by storm after revealing the unusual reason she has a white streak in her hair—and, no, it isn't dyed. Alex Lightly, 23, was born with blonde locks, but the front of her ...
