Genetics
In a landmark achievement for genetic medicine, eight babies have been born in the UK using DNA from three individuals to prevent mitochondrial disease. This pioneering technique, developed at Newcastle University and approved by UK law in 2015, involves combining DNA from two parents with healthy mitochondria from a donor woman. Mitochondrial disease, a debilitating […]
In a groundbreaking feat of genetic engineering, biotech firm Colossal Biosciences claims to have resurrected the extinct dire wolf, creating three pups through cloning and gene-editing. Using ancient DNA from fossils, scientists modified gray wolf genomes—adding traits like thick fur, larger size, and broader heads—to mimic the dire wolf, which went extinct over 12,000 years […]
