When the monkeys were single-celled embryos, scientists had used CRISPR editing tools to silence, or “knock out”, a gene that helps regulate the body’s internal clock. Its disruption is ...

Building a gene editor took months. With CRISPR even high-schoolers can get hold of editing systems in the time it takes to order RNA sequences online and have them shipped by FedEx. In a short ...

Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

A new study links a particular gene to the ancient origins of spoken language, proposing that a protein variant found only in humans may have helped us communicate in a novel way. Speech allowed us to ...

A new study suggests that the NOVA1 gene may have been a key player in the evolution of human language. By Carl Zimmer Scientists have long struggled to understand how human language evolved.

Mice carrying a gene variant present in nearly every human on Earth — but not in extinct relatives including Neanderthals — produce more-complex chirps than normal rodents do 1. The finding ...

One of them was Gene LeBell – who was famously said to have once put Seagal in a chokehold so intense he shit his pants – and he was joined by Bill Wallace, Howard Jackson, Jim Harrison, Roger ...
