Aurora Therapeutics' first target is the rare inherited disease phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Here at MIT Technology Review we’ve been writing about the gene-editing technology CRISPR since 2013 ...

The idea of resurrecting dinosaurs from ancient DNA, made famous by Jurassic Park, might seem like a futuristic fantasy, but in reality, the science isn’t there yet. While DNA can degrade over ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, PhD, and Jill Moore, PhD’18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

本文报道了一种近红外光控DNA镊子(NIR-DNA tweezer)，通过上转换纳米颗粒(UCNPs)将808 nm近红外光转换为紫外/可见光，调控偶氮苯 ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways — for example, getting them to ...
