New, reversible CRISPR method can control gene expression while leaving underlying DNA sequence unchanged.

Encapsulating modified bacteria in tough hydrogel spheres prevents them from spreading genes to other microbes.

International study reveals gut bacteria from people in industrialized societies swap genes at much higher rates.

Varying levels of a DNA repair enzyme can lead to very different outcomes after exposure to NDMA.

C. elegans compares the ratio of wavelengths in its environment to avoid dangerous bacteria that secrete colorful toxins.

The gene variant disrupts lipid metabolism, but in cell experiments the effects were reversed by choline supplements.

A new computational approach for analyzing complex datasets shows that as disease progresses, neurons and astrocytes lose the ability to maintain homeostasis.
