Working with a virus that infects bacteria, the Stanford University biochemist and developmental biologist helped to develop a way to stitch DNA together, a discovery that gave rise to genetic engineering.

In addition to his work on widely-used techniques, the researcher was known for engineering crop plants.

Sequences from dozens of ancient remains from Siberia reveal the closest ancient relative of Native Americans found outside of North America.

When people prefer to go to bed is linked to hundreds of variations in their genes.

The PsychENCODE project delves into the DNA, RNA, and protein changes related to brain development and neuropsychiatric disorders, but researchers caution it’s just a first step toward treatment.

A small pilot study suggests the approach can identify effective treatments already approved for other cancers.

Combining data from the genetic testing techniques can guide patient care, scientists say.

The Vertebrate Genomes Project has released data on 14 vertebrate species, but the goal is to sequence all 66,000.
