Genetic engineering, a frontier in modern science, is increasingly playing a vital role in conservation efforts worldwide. As ...

Thus, LINE1 (the only known transposable element family capable of autonomous jumping in the human genome) serves as a suitable DNA template for accurately determining age and predicting disease.

A research group led by Wei Li at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has created mice born from two male parents and capable of ...

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood. Their results ...

This confirmed earlier studies based on small numbers of genes that had suggested there was only a small difference between the human and chimpanzee genomes. Now biologists suspect that gene ...

Researchers have successfully engineered bi-paternal mice, born from two male parents, that survived to adulthood using ...

Their results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, highlight the role of gene expression in the evolution and function of the human brain. Interpreting nature's ...

Summary: While humans share over 95% of their genome with chimpanzees, our brains are far more complex due to differences in gene expression. Research shows that human brain cells, particularly glial ...

In my Jan. 6 piece concluding my four-part series on stem cell therapy, I said that in 2003, I wrote a book titled, “The ...
