A gene-edited mouse created with two male parents has now survived to reach adulthood. This is a momentous occasion for genetics, as previous attempts to create bi-paternal mice have failed for a ...

A research group led by Wei Li at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has created mice born from two male parents and capable of reaching adulthood. This builds on previous work from the group in which ...

Scientists have successfully engineered a mouse with two fathers that went on to survive until adulthood. Researchers have attempted to create so-called bi-paternal mice before, but these embryos ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals autism gene variants and structural changes, helping explain missing heritability and advancing precision diagnostics.

As detailed in a study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, scientists achieved this feat of same-sex murine parentage by using CRISPR techniques to rein in rogue genes that undergo a troublesome ...

Since the turn of the century, circumstantial evidence has accumulated for the role of imprinted genes (those only expressed from one parent) in mental illnesses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ...

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood. Their results, publishing ...

A research team at the Biocenter of Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU), together with cooperation partners at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge (UK), has taken a significant step ...
