The Human Genome Project was an international research project that sequenced all of the genes found in humans. This ambitious project began in 1990 and concluded in 2003. One goal of the project ...

Genome and mutations DNA replication is carefully controlled to preserve the genetic information. However, changes in the genome do sometimes occur. These changes are known as mutations.

As two thirds of the genome is active in one or more immune cell type(s), with less than 1% of genes expressed exclusively in a given type of cell 1, the phenomena and molecules studied should be ...

Depending on the definition, a gene may be considered a stretch of DNA that acts as instructions for protein production. Regions of DNA that do not code for proteins may also be considered genes if ...

This is by far the most common use of CRISPR. It’s called genome editing – or gene editing – but usually the results are not as precise as that term implies. CRISPR can also be used to make ...
