Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

Scientists in the laboratory of David Liu, PhD, at the Broad Institute of MIT, Harvard University, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) have designed an improved version of prime editing ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...

Putting the uniquely human version of a certain gene into mice changed the way that those animals vocalized to each other, suggesting that this gene may play a role in speech and language. Mice make a ...

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...
