A New Kind of Genome Editing Is Here to Fine-Tune DNA
Instead of deleting genes, epigenetic editing modulates their activity. A new paper tests if it’s able to undo a genetic effect of early alcohol exposure. ..

A long-term study of a marsh was meant to ask whether rising levels of CO2 could help wetlands thrive despite rising seas. The plants aren’t keeping ..
In Oregon, the tree-killing Humongous Fungus never would have gotten so large without the accidental help of modern fire suppression tactics. ..
A new study shows the enormous extent of the global arachnid trade, one that might be undermining wild populations. ..
Scientists are just starting to uncover the vast diversity of microbes out there. The only problem? No one can agree on how to name them. ..
In theory, the building blocks of life are possible with a more expansive code than three-letter codons. New work shows that would be a challenge. ..
Researchers have created autonomous particles covered with patches of protein “motors.” They hope these bots will tote lifesaving drugs through bodily ..
Dopamine, a neurochemical often associated with reward behavior, seems to help organize precisely when the brain initiates movements. ..
The first hatchery and nursery run by local fishers is working to save the species. The model is poised for duplication—but can it survive stormy, warming ..
