As genetic engineering advances at breakneck speed, are governments prepared to regulate it? We look at the opportunities, ...

An international team led by University of Manchester scientists has created the most detailed picture yet of how genetic differences shape the way the human eye works. The breakthrough could help ...

Synthetic human chromosomes may transform gene therapy by carrying large therapeutic genes without altering natural DNA. Here ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Explore the complex balance of risks and benefits in gene drives, a powerful tool in genetic engineering and disease control.
