Scientists can now edit multiple sites in the genome at the same time to learn how different DNA stretches co-operate in health and disease. Dubbed 'CHyMErA', for Cas Hybrid for Multiplexed Editing and Screening Applications, the method can be applied to any type of mammalian cell.

Scientists uncover a trove of genes that could hold key to how humans evolved.Dozens of genes previously thought to have similar roles across species are in fact unique to humans. These genes code for a class of proteins known as transcription factors, or TFs, which control gene activity.

The first organism with chlorophyll genes that doesn't photosynthesize has been discovered. This is actually very dangerous because "chlorophyll is very good at capturing energy, but without photosynthesis to release the energy slowly it is like living with a bomb in your cells."
