Altering Genes

Within the last century, researchers understanding of genetics has undergone a profound transformation.

According to a recent study, pregnant women are advised to stay away from alcohol, as it might alter the DNA of their babies.

Chinese twins Lulu and Nana had their genes altered before birth with a gene-editing tool. The Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, had claimed to have edited the DNA of their embryos in order to make them immune to acquiring HIV that causes AIDS.

Chinese scientist He Jiankui had shocked the scientific community last year after announcing he had successfully altered the genes of twin girls born in November.

Twin girls whose DNA was altered as part of a controversial effort in China to make them resistant to HIV infection could still contract the virus that causes AIDS.

A Chinese scientist's claim that he created the world's first genetically-edited babies has shone a spotlight on what critics say are lax regulatory controls and ethical standards behind a series of headline-grabbing biomedical breakthroughs in China. University professor He Jiankui on Sunday said the DNA of twin girls had been altered to prevent ...

A Chinese researcher claims that he helped make the world's first genetically edited babies - twin girls born this month whose DNA he said he altered with a powerful new tool.

Repeated binge drinking was found to significantly alter molecular pathways in the nucleus accumbens -- a region of the brain linked to addiction.

Gene-editing technologies that alter mosquitoes' DNA could prove critical in the fight against malaria, Bill Gates said on Wednesday, and ethical concerns should not block progress in such gene-modifying research.

A group of scientists in the US have taken the first steps in tweaking the genes in the human embryo - a subject fraught with fears of an eventual designer baby and a minefield of ethical dilemma. The scientists say their research has the potential to eliminate diseases that run through some families.

According to researchers, an alteration or change in the genes may hasten the process of memory loss and affect the thinking ability in people who are already at the risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Genes, The fundamental element present in each and every living organism. They form the framework of who and what we are. These genes unite everyone, yet differentiate us and keep us unique. Using science and technology called -genetic engineering- or -recombinant DNA technology- these genes can be precisely altered or added to give a unique chara...

The NASA study involved astronaut Scott Kelly, who spent a year in space and his identical twin Mark who stayed on Earth.

The extra pounds that you gain during holidays may not only show up on your body but also alter your DNA and gene expression, warns a new large-scale study of 10,000 people including those of Indian ancestry.
