Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Despite our growing reliance on algorithms, the Pew Research Center found that Americans are concerned with the fairness and effectiveness of computer programs that make important decisions in their ...

There are many sleep phenotypes, which reflect the duration and intensity of sleep, as well as its circadian and homeostatic regulation. In flies, mice and humans, at least ten genes have either been ...

Skin is an attractive target for delivery of genetic therapies and vaccines. However, new approaches are needed to access this tissue more effectively. Here, we describe a new delivery technology ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways — for example, getting them to ...
