It has been 20 years since the term “genome editing” first entered the scientific lexicon, a field that was revolutionized by the development of CRISPR gene editing in 2012. But the remarkable ...

The study was recently published in Genome Research. KMAP projects DNA sequences—known as k-mers—into two-dimensional space, making it easier to identify and interpret biologically significant ...

He and colleagues have been developing new blackberry varieties using deep insights gained from genome sequencing. Using a large collection of DNA sequences from an experimental blackberry BL1 ...

Colossal's internal and unpublished analysis suggested that key differences could be made by editing 14 different areas of the genome, with 20 total edits required. The new animals are reported to ...

“Diversity” was the buzzword at the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) summit last month in Durban, South Africa. Genomic research depends on it – yet Africa remains one of the most under ...

The study, published today in the Open Science journal GigaScience and led by scientists from Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), presents a complete, gapless sequence of the Bauhinia genome ...

A US bio firm has announced the "rebirth" of an extinct carnivore called the dire wolf by using genome editing technology. The species is believed to have died off about 13,000 years ago.

A company called Colossal Biosciences says it has revived an extinct species – the dire wolf. “On October 1, 2024, for the first time in human history, Colossal successfully restored a once ...

A 2021 effort to obtain DNA from old bones had yielded only a tiny amount, not enough to accurately decode the genome in detail. And without a detailed gene map, Colossal wouldn’t be able see ...

To achieve its goal, the company essentially created a hybrid genome using CRISPR technology to cut away certain gray wolf gene variants and replace them with traits associated with dire wolves ...
