Scientists have genetically modified isolated microbes for decades. Now, using CRISPR, they intend to target entire microbiomes.

Sequences for the model organism and two of its kin reveal how these plants got their oversized genomes.

A high-quality genome sequence for this versatile insect will likely aid eco-evolutionary research.

A high school student uses crowdfunding to produce the first genome assembly for this popular aquarium species, underscoring the increasing feasibility of whole-genome sequencing.

Engineered bacteria sound the alarm on a common oncogenic mutation.

The researchers who constructed the first reference genome for this critically endangered mollusk say it will assist restoration efforts.

George Church is at it again, this time using multiplex gene editing to create virus-proof cells, improve organ transplant success, and protect elephants.

Biofilms are home to millions of microbes, but disrupting their interactions could produce more effective antibiotics.

Advances in the functional characterization of newly discovered microproteins hint at diverse roles in health and disease.
