ObjectivesSickle cell disease (SCD) is the UK's most common blood disorder causing sickle shaped red blood cells to block small blood vessels inducing both acute and chronic pain. A crucial factor in determining quality of life for those with SCD is the severity, timing and number of painful...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common genetic conditions in the world. It affects around one in 2,000 of all babies born in England. People with SCD produce unusually shaped red blood cells. They can cause problems because they do not live as long as healthy blood cells ...
Regarding CRISPR's limitations, it can introduce "off-target effects" if the Cas9 enzyme cuts DNA at unintended places in the genome. This might occur if researchers don't customize the guide RNA sequence for a unique DNA target but instead target a common sequence found in a family of gene...

What is the probability that two full-siblings will share no DNA in common? Do grandchildren always have the same gene combinations that their grandparents had? Which of the following pairs of people has the exact same genome? (a) father and son (b) mother and daughter (c) identical twins...
This group studied the geographical distribution of recently selected genes and found that strong sustained selection is rare and partial sweeps are common. PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar Lewontin, R. C. in Evolution From Molecules to Men (ed. Bendall, D. S.) 273–285 (Cambridge Univ...
Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.
