Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have demonstrated an intriguing new variation on the CRISPR gene-editing system, which involves fixing a mutation on one chromosome by ...

Researchers discover unexpected patterns in mutation risks across individuals, uncovering 13 distinct genomic patterns. The study provides crucial insights into cancer evolution, identifying the genes ...

A novel genome editing technique, NICER, is based on the creation of multiple nicks in single DNA strands by nickase. The method can correct heterozygous mutations using two mechanisms: multiple nicks ...

Rett syndrome is a rare developmental disorder, most often due to a mutation in the MECP2 gene on the X chromosome, but it’s not usually inherited. Advances in genetics have launched a new era in ...

An international study has identified more than 50 genes on the X chromosome in which mutations may cause poor sperm production. Nearly half of all men with low or zero sperm count have no medical ...
