The human genome consists of three billion base pairs that encode some 100,000 to 300,000 genes. Could we work out all the sequence of this DNA? What use would that information be? The sequence alone ...

Beam Therapeutics focuses on base editing technology, which allows for precise changes at the DNA level and potentially reduces off-target effects. Base editing has the versatility to correct a wide ...

A modified bacteria-killing virus, known as a phage, can deliver far more DNA to human cells than is possible with existing techniques. This capacity could lead to major advances in cell and gene ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

Scientists have discovered a way to look at how DNA functions inside living cells, paving the way for techniques to pinpoint how changes can lead to illnesses such as heart disease and cancer. The ...

Back in 2016, a group of researchers led by Harvard’s David Liu, PhD, published a paper in Nature that reported the development of base editing. Base editing, they wrote, is “a new approach to genome ...
