The Human Genome Project was an ambitious initiative to sequence every piece of human DNA. The project drew together collaborators from research institutions around the world, including Whitehead Institute, and was finally completed in 2003.

Instead of deleting genes, epigenetic editing modulates their activity. A new paper tests if it’s able to undo a genetic effect of early alcohol exposure.

While plant scientists feel that the government’s move will help develop high-yield, disease-resistant crops, activists and policy experts have objected to the change being introduced through an office memorandum, which the public cannot raise objections against.

An effort by mad scientists to turn hamsters into more peaceful and docile creatures through gene editing went awry when the rodents ended up transforming into "hyper-aggressive [...]

Researchers have used CRISPR-Cas9 to knockout Avpr1a receptors in hamsters, eliminating vasopressins social behavior regulation.

A mutation in a gene involved in chromatin remodeling is associated with aggressive melanoma, suggest new data from preclinical research.

The world is going to need about 50% more food by 2050. Has the time come to roll out genetically modified crops that promise higher yields, are more resilient to climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of farming?

This application note dives into recent research from Boehringer Ingelheim that utilized Twist Bioscience’s silicon-based DNA synthesis platform to produce high-quality, customized oligos for CRISPR screens.
