Indian Scientists Create Protein That Lights Up During Gene Editing, May Aid Cancer Treatment
Scientists from Kolkata-based Bose Institute have created GlowCas9--a CRISPR protein that lights up while performing gene editing -- to help boost treatment of genetic diseases and cancer, said the Ministry of Science and T

Putting Pig Organs In People Is OK In The US, But Growing Human Organs In Pigs Is Not - Why Is That?
A decade ago, scientists were chasing a different solution. Instead of editing the genes of pigs to make their organs human-friendly, they tried to grow human organs made entirely of human cells inside pigs. But in 2015 the National Institutes of

Scientists Revive Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA and Modern Gene Editing
In a landmark scientific achievement, three dire wolf pups have been born using reconstructed DNA from fossils, marking the species’ return after being extinct for over 12,000 years. Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences led the project, using gene editing to implant dire wolf traits into grey wolf embryos, which were then carried by domestic dog sur...

In Major Breakthrough, Mice Created With Two Fathers And No Mother Reach Adulthood
By using embryonic stem cell engineering, the researchers were able to reprogram the imprinted genes, effectively allowing the mice to develop with genetic material from two fathers.

Human Outer Ears May Have Evolved from Ancient Fish Gills, Study Finds
Human outer ears may have evolved from the cartilage in ancient fish gills, according to recent research. Gene-editing experiments demonstrated a genetic link between fish gills and mammalian ears, with findings suggesting this transformation dates back millions of years. Researchers tested genetic enhancers in zebrafish, mice, and lizards, uncover...
