We're living in a moment where science fiction is becoming medical reality. Imagine a world where doctors can simply rewrite the genetic code that condemns someone to a lifetime of suffering.No more ...

Researchers develop a groundbreaking genomic mapping to reveal how genes interact to cause diseases, paving the way for ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Genetics have been a big topic of mass discussion ever since the first Jurassic Park movie. But that was fiction. At Hawaiʻi’s John A. Burns School of Medicine, a research team is ...

Irregularities in the body's genetic coding to make proteins are linked to cancerous tumors. But most genetic material contains elements whose function isn't clear. Could abnormalities in non-coding ...

Lefties, take note: We know a little more about the genetic basis for your dominant hand. Researchers have identified a rare genetic variant coding for a protein that may be partially responsible for ...

When proteins are produced in cells based on the "genetic code" of codons, there is a precise process under which molecules called transfer RNA (tRNA) bind to specific amino acids and then transport ...

Doctors in Brazil discover and confirm that a woman has blood with male chromosomes, a rare case of human chimerism.
