For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and ...

Genetic diseases are known occur due to various types of mutations in the human genome. The molecular assays to diagnose these diseases have been developed based on the type of mutation commonly seen ...

The breathtaking progress in molecular genetics that has occurred over the past five decades and the transition to genomic medicine would have been difficult to imagine in 1970, when the Institute of ...

The challenge is to give the right drug to the right patient by selecting the most effective therapy and avoiding ineffective, toxic, and expensive treatments. During the last decade, several targeted ...

Plant breeding aims at the genetic enhancement of crops through the application of principles of Mendelian Genetics and modern tools and techniques of cell and molecular biology. Many breeding ...

For decades, excessive, unscientific regulation has slowed innovation using molecular genetic engineering. Policymakers must awaken to the realization that regulations based on pseudoscience or ...

Harvard geneticist Richard C. Lewontin, age 92, died on July 4, at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is considered one of the most prominent modern researchers in genetic diversity in humans ...
