Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.
A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...
Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...
Humanized mouse models are vital for studying human gene function, but fully replacing mouse genes with complete human ...
