Albino cane toads created using gene-editing technology reveal that albino animals face competitive disadvantages going far ...

Scientists found losing the GULO gene, which makes vitamin C, might have helped humans and some animals resist parasite ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a gene therapy for Alzheimer’s disease that could help protect the brain from damage and preserve cognitive function ...

If such interbreeding occurred, he said, "gene flow" between the newcomers and more primitive groups might have contributed to the evolution of modern humans, a variant of the "multiregional" theory.

You've probably heard of selfish gene theory. This is lazy gene theory. If a gene has no effect on survival, then the organisms with it will survive even if the gene mutates.

The researchers tested this theory in fruit flies by editing the gene that produced F-actin in the brain to produce less, but they only edited the genes in the flies' neurons. Despite this limited ...
