Most of us have been eating foods derived from genetically modified crops for a generation or so, and so far, none of the ills attributed to modern food systems have been traced back to their use.

These rare genetic mutations that have sparked both fascination and scientific inquiry. Scientists have documented a handful of extraordinarily rare genetic conditions that give their carriers ...

A 56-year-old man with liver failure has become the first living person to be surgically connected to a genetically modified pig liver, says the team that conducted the surgery. The pig organ filtered ...

Genetic modification once belonged strictly to science fiction, but it’s rapidly becoming reality. Scientists can now alter DNA, correct genetic diseases, and even enhance biological traits.

For the first time, scientists have identified genetic variants that increase the risk of aneuploidy, in which cells have an abnormal number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy in egg cells can lead to ...

Gregor Mendel described his experiments with pea plants and proved that genes are transmitted in discrete units, with certain fundamental laws of inheritance. When you purchase through links on our ...
