Full-term mouse offspring were derived from single unfertilised eggs using targeted CRISPR/Cas9 epigenome editing...
Fertility treatments rather than increased maternal age may alter gene expression in offspring, suggests a study in mice...
Researchers have bred mouse pups with genetic material from two male, or two female parents...
US scientists have identified a new mechanism by which genes are silenced, or 'imprinted' during early embryonic development...
A large study has investigated the potential genetic risks to children conceived by in vitro fertilisation (IVF). It confirms earlier research indicating that babies born following assisted conception have a small increased risk of certain genetic health problems. The New York Times reports that in November last...
The use of IVF technologies could be storing up future health problems for children born through the technique, according to an evolutionary biologist...
The idea that all of us - men and women - are chips off the paternal block has been given some scientific credence by a study in mice...
Within the first minute, it is already clear that genomic sequencing is something of a Pandora's Box; or, as AC Grayling calls it, 'a modern dilemma'...
Researchers have identified genetic factors that are involved in determining the age at which a child reaches puberty, in a genome-wide study looking at over 182,000 women...
There is definitely great scope for expansion in genetics education through online courses, but these should be tailored towards the student's pace, however leisurely that might be...
