Three genes may limit the ability of rice to handle dry or salty conditions. A Regeneron ISEF finalist shows that CRISPR could target and change them.
That protein stopped the disease-causing bacterium from growing in lab dishes or infecting mice.
Genetic engineering involves adding, changing or removing certain pieces of DNA from a living thing to give it desired traits.
These special memory cells were present in people with allergies and absent in those without.
This environmental DNA can aid in conserving species that are hard or dangerous to observe.
Understanding the genetic adaptations that protect the birds’ brains as they dive might one day offer clues to protecting human brains.
Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman overcame hurdles to using mRNA for medicine. This led to COVID vaccines — and maybe, one day, some for other infections.
Let’s investigate whether fingerprint patterns are created randomly or whether they are influenced by genetics.
Ayla was treated before birth for the rare, life-threatening Pompe disease. Now a thriving 16-month-old toddler, her treatments will still need to continue.
