Powerful system inserts whole genes into people
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and University of Texas in San Antonio have developed a gene-edited enzyme complex for the treatment of rare genetic diseases. Researchers added 21 small changes across five genes that contribute to the ‘evoCAST’ architecture to correct a gene mutation in a mouse model of the’scurvy-cell anaas’. The technique could…

The woolly mammoth has been extinct for a long time, and a 3D reconstruction of the genome might revive it
Researchers said they have found DNA from a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth, one of the oldest known living mammals, which they believe is the earliest evidence of human DNA. The DNA was preserved in skin samples taken from Siberian permafrost. “To be able to do all these specific things in… woolly mammoth is exciting,” said Erez…
