Two baby monkey clones are the first ever to be created using the Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer technique that created Dolly the Sheep in 1996.

The National Institutes of Health today announced an effort to remove barriers to therapeutic gene editing tools.

Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence for Aging Research in Cologne have identified a gene that is in charge of the shape of the cell.

A new synthetic hormone promises to tease apart the many different roles of the plant hormone auxin and could lead to a new way to ripen fruit.

Researchers have been exploring the intricate shapes that emerge when air is injected into soil. These findings could one day be used to speed up the decontamination of industrial brownfield sites-which the United Kingdom currently has over 400,000 hectares of.

Pax7, a transcription factor, is able to open up compacted genome segments to allow cell growth to occur properly.

Unique epigenetic signatures for nine neurodevelopmental disorders have been identified, lending to a better method of diagnosis for disorders with much clinical overlap.

Many of the most common cancer-causing genes are so central to cellular function throughout the body that they are essentially 'undruggable'. Now, researchers have found a way to attack one of the most common drivers of lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer by targeting the proteins it produces on the outside of the cell.

A new combination of different strains of resistant wheat may help farmers avoid a common fungal disease.

Wild rice growing in northern Australia’s crocodile-infested waters could help boost global food security, say researchers who have mapped its genetic family tree. Valuable traits from the wild rice – such as drought tolerance and pest and disease resistance – can be bred into commercial rice strains.
