The manipulation of DNA replication and the adoption of advanced gene-editing technologies illustrate a remarkable convergence of scientific innovation and ethical considerations.

Scientists discover new gene editing tools in bacterial "jumping genes" that can be modified to cut, paste, and flip any sequence of DNA.

Advances in gene editing have brought us ever closer to fixing some of the most devastating diseases of our time, such as progeria and sickle cell disease.

Mutated DNA Restored to Normal in Gene Therapy Advance The small study in patients with a rare disorder that causes liver and lung damage showed the potential for precisely targeted infusions.
