Fresh from solving the protein structure challenge, Google’s deep-learning outfit is moving on to the human genome.

Phages—tiny entities that infect bacteria—were discovered over 100 years ago but were largely abandoned as therapies. Now they’re making a comeback.

Editing the genomes of our gut bacteria will “create a whole new field of biology” in the coming decades, a Nobel prize-winning geneticist has said at the opening of a...

Katie Pope Kopp went through round after round of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant to treat her non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But nothing could beat it. “I went back to get...

A toddler girl is flourishing after receiving treatment for a rare genetic disease. In a first for this disease, she received that treatment before she was even born.

In its latest catalogue of health conditions, the World Health Organization almost equated old age with disease. Then it backed off.

Materials known as metal-organic frameworks hold promise for advances in healthcare, energy and other areas, researchers say.

CRISPR is changing the world—but it can do more.

This common knee injury typically requires reconstruction surgery, but a new type of treatment that harnesses biologics is changing that.

In 2003, the human genome was declared complete, but in reality, the draft was missing about 8 percent of the genome (the hardest-to-sequence) regions. Finally, this May, a group of researchers posted a preprint of the first truly completed genome, a readout of all 3.055 billion letters across 23 human chromosomes.
