The structure within a eukaryotic cell that contains the vast majority of its genetic information.
An artificial intelligence model trained on genomic data can predict disease-causing mutations and design synthetic viruses...
The first cell-type-specific maps of the brain during Alzheimer's disease have been created, revealing which genes may actively drive the disease rather than simply change in response to damage...
A detailed integrated map of the human genome's 3D structure over time shows how DNA structure is linked to gene activity...
Individual genes have been shown to produce multiple proteins, providing a potential insight into rare diseases that have previously lacked a clear explanation...
A novel method for visualising human blastocyst development – which has led to findings with implications for PGT-A – is described by Dr Ahmed Abdelbaki, a postdoctoral researcher in the Niakan Lab at the University of Cambridge...
Professor Sir John Gurdon, pioneer of developmental biology and Nobel Prize winner, has died aged 92...
Egg cells have been created from human skin cell DNA, which have then been fertilised with sperm to create embryos...
Professor Barry Bavister explains how he became the first person ever to witness IVF in humans, when he looked down a microscope in 1968 while working alongside IVF pioneer Professor Sir Robert Edwards...
Human eggs appear to be protected from the age-related accumulation of genetic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)...
Dr Andy Greenfield explores what it took to achieve the birth of eight healthy babies with donated mitochondria – not just scientific and technical advances but also ethical inquiry, public and patient engagement, the introduction of new laws and regulations, and the careful establishment of a new clinical pathway...
