Researchers edited macaque embryos to induce symptoms of sleep disorders and chose one animal to clone. A bioethicist questions the study’s appropriateness.

He Jiankui could face charges after an investigation finds he used techniques prohibited in China to edit the genes of twin girls.

The documentary weaves together a hunt for mammoth tusks in the Arctic with scenes from the front lines of synthetic biology.

Since He Jiankui presented his results at last week’s gene editing summit, researchers have raised concerns about his protocol, calling the procedure “amateurish” and “unconscionable.”

Despite a premature and ethically sketchy claim of genome editing in twin girls, an outright prohibition could blunt promising, responsible progress.

He Jiankui, who reportedly edited the genomes of two babies already, broke the news at a conference in Hong Kong.

The college has opened an investigation into Michael Deem’s involvement.

He Jiankui says he has successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 to tweak the genes of twins born earlier this month. Some independent experts are dubious.

Anne Peyroche, who was removed as interim head of France’s National Center for Scientific Research in January, committed scientific misconduct, according to the French Academy of Sciences.
