The study's lead author told Newsweek that gene editing could become another tool for addressing health problems in dogs.

Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but the outcome of a new study suggests that could someday change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that was shown to ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

A sweeping analysis of thousands of animal genomes suggests that chromosomes do not evolve randomly but instead follow a limited number of irreversible “evolutionary highways.” These one-way genetic ...

A human, an octopus, and a coral could hardly look more different—yet deep inside their cells, their chromosomes still carry ...

By examining thousands of genomes along with fragments of ancient chromosomes, researchers uncovered the intricate journey of ...

In general, threatened species are at greatest risk of poor genetic health. These species often live in small, isolated ...

Do you wonder where your meat comes from? Maybe it's organic, wild harvested, or farmed. Or perhaps it was designed in a lab. Faster-growing fish, heat-tolerant cows and disease-resistant pigs are ...

An understanding of the origin and dynamics of heritable genetic variation within classical animal breeding programs is needed to provide the context for understanding the contributions and concerns ...

The mouse on the left is a chimeric with dark eyes and patches of black fur, a result of stem cells derived from a choanoflagellate Sox gene. The wildtype mouse on the right has red eyes and all white ...

The bill would prohibit the sale of pet animals with “cosmetic transgenic traits” — defined as any trait that modifies the ...
