Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...
Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
A refined base-pair editor limits unintended neighboring DNA edits while maintaining strong correction of disease-causing ...
How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...
Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders ...
