With the recent news that hackers stole data from around 6.9 million users of the genetic testing company 23andMe, it’s understandable that some might have concerns as to what someone could do ...

Identification of a non-canonical ciliate nuclear genetic code where UAA and UAG code for different amino acids. PLOS Genetics, 2023; 19 (10): e1010913 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010913 ...

By blueprints, I mean the genetic code — the DNA sequence that makes smallpox or polio or SARS-CoV-2. Those sequences are freely available on the internet.

Specifically, anyone developing CRISPR therapies needs to be on the lookout for edits that don't fully knock out a section of DNA code—and evaluate the potential impacts for patients.

It took almost twice as long to finish the last 8% of the human genome as it did to sequence the first 92%. New laboratory and computational technologies finally enabled Miga and her colleagues to ...
