Conservation of genomic sequences between species indicates regions of functional importance, containing protein-coding gene, non-coding genes or regulatory elements. In the December 5 Nature, ...
Scientists in Japan have used gene-editing technology to remove the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome, at least in lab-grown human cells. The project, led by Dr. Ryotaro Hashizume of Mie ...
Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...
Cutting-edge technology could one day transform treatment for Down syndrome, as researchers have successfully deleted an extra chromosome in lab-grown cells. Down syndrome - which occurs when a person ...
