Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Agricultural gene-splicing has increased crop yields, reduced the need for environmentally harmful pesticides and herbicides, and decreased food costs for consumers. New gene-spliced crops are ...

In an experiment that could portend a real-life Planet of the Apes situation, scientists spliced human genes into the fetus of a monkey to substantially increase the size of the primate’s brain. And ...

A breakthrough in genetics reveals how spines first appeared, changing what we know about the evolution of complex species.

Selective breeding has reshaped livestock into some of the world's most productive animals, but new research suggests these ...

In humans and other animals, sex is usually determined by a single gene. However, there are claims that in some species, such as platyfish, it takes a whole "parliament" of genes acting together to ...

Gene function is modulated at multiple levels. Besides expression level changes, post-transcriptional changes such as alternate splicing alter specificity of gene function. Misregulation of alternate ...
