Scientists are very close to snipping inherited genetic diseases out of human offspring using a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. A study demonstrating this technique was published in the journal ...

In a recent study by Dr. Sawada and his colleagues published in Scientific Reports, 183 human bones were surveyed, of which 52 were found to be worked human bones, all of which belong to the Neolithic ...

Professor Zhou's research group focuses on developing and applying new technologies to visualize spatial and temporal distributions of chemical modifications in the mammalian transcriptome at ...

RNA molecules can be modified by enzymes through the addition or removal of chemical groups, but the roles of these modifications in the regulation of both mRNAs and non-coding RNAs are not fully ...

RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...

Researchers have found that small mammal communities today are fundamentally different from even a few centuries ago, during North America's pre-colonial past. They identified small mammal remains ...

Could we genetically optimize human beings? This scenario, which sounds like something out of science fiction, has never been so close. It raises ethical questions, which Bertolt Meyer, who was born ...
