Major DNA Breakthrough Could Lead To Woolly Mammoth Resurrection

Scientists have made a jaw-dropping discovery that could bring woolly mammoths back from the dead—or at least get us one step closer. They’ve uncovered a massive, 52,000-year-old chromosome from a well-preserved mammoth fossil in Siberia, offering an unprecedented look at the ancient beast’s DNA. This massive genetic find, which is

Scientists Successfully Remove HIV From Cells

Scientists from the University of Amsterdam have successfully removed HIV from cells using CRISPR/Cas9, a gene-editing technique that works similarly to a cookie cutter, focusing on HIV DNA at a small scale and removing all viral imprints at particular locations within infected cells. A gene-editing technique that won the 2020
