(REUTERS) British scientists are testing cutting edge gene editing techniques in mice, by inserting a jelly fish gene that makes their skin green. The research uses CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing ...

Scientists have used CRISPR technology to edit out a lung-disease–causing gene while mice were in utero, rescuing the function of the lung and not affecting other organs, they reported on Wednesday ...

This is because the gene for brown eyes is dominant. A baby’s skin color is a polygenic trait. This means that the skin color a baby has depends on more than one gene. When a baby inherits skin ...

Scientists created transgenic mice with woolly mammoth–like traits. But does it really bring us closer to bringing back woolly mammoths?

To create the woolly mice, the researchers modified seven of the rodents' genes, six of which were related to fur texture, length and color ... deposits beneath their skin, so the team attempted ...

Of two genetically identical mice, how can one ... the expression of the human genes involved in obesity. But exactly how does exposure to bisphenol A affect both skin cells and brain cells?

Galloway and her team have now streamlined the process so that skin cells can be converted to motor neurons using just three transcription factors, plus the two genes. Using mouse cells ...

The paper is titled, “Interneuron-specific dual-AAV SCN1A gene replacement corrects epileptic phenotypes in mouse models of Dravet syndrome.” Dravet syndrome is a severe and difficult to treat ...

A company working on a controversial plan to “de-extinct” woolly mammoths and other creatures says it has successfully used ...

Fresh from raising $200 million, Colossal Biosciences announced it has genetically engineered the Colossal Woolly Mouse, with a warm coat taken from the genes of the extinct woolly mammoth.
