DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that encodes genetic information. It contains four different chemicals, or bases, known as A, C, G and T.
Genes and chromosomes are made of DNA.
Prime editing – a type of genome editing – has been used to alter DNA directly inside a person's body for the first time...
Newborn genome screening could transform the early detection of genetic conditions, but incomplete penetrance could lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Large-scale population studies are needed to understand the risks and help design effective screening programmes…
A genome editing technique has corrected a disease-causing mutation in blood stem cells taken from a patient with a rare and severe immune disorder...
Researchers have turned an 80-year-old's blood precursor cells into neural stem cells, resetting the cells' 'biological age' in the process...
Two research teams have used different DNA-recording technologies to trace cell lineages in developing mouse embryos...
NHS England plans to roll out a new rapid genomic test developed by the University of Nottingham to diagnose brain tumours...
Parental age and various procedures used during assisted reproductive technology have been linked to different patterns of mutational changes in the DNA of offspring...
A Florida couple is suing a fertility clinic after genetic analyses revealed that their daughter is not biologically related to her father...
Scientists have visualised DNA molecules locking together for the first time, providing new insight into how they overcome their negative charges to pair up...
