New research shows it’s possible to edit the DNA of human embryos with more precision. But scientists warn it’s still not ...

A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides ...

In mammals, hair follicles emerge during embryonic development, forming geometric patterns that vary from one species to ...

Getting it over the finish line was a labor of love—and now, more than five years after her death, the lab of former Sloan ...

Echinoderms are an important intermediate group in animal evolution that combines the geometric beauty of five-fold radial symmetry with a high degree of mobility in the ocean. Five-fold radial ...

Fifty-four years ago, I did something extraordinary. I built myself. I was a single, round cell with not the slightest hint of my final form. Yet the shape of my body now – the same body – is ...

A yellow tray lined with newspaper containing small bottles and fuzzy objects, possibly a science experiment or craft project. For over 100 years, the 4-H program has been teaching young people about ...

The invariant cell lineage of the C. elegans embryo provides an opportunity to systematically study developmental gene pathways. Overall, there are 934 annotated TFs in C. elegans, with 40% having ...
