Advances in genetic engineering have enabled researchers to seek ways to program new life. But has synthetic biology actually ...

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

As anyone who has ever gotten a protective style knows, the process requires plenty of decision-making. Box braids or sister locs? A fun color or a natural hue? A jumbo silhouette or a micro moment?

One of the reasons your wig may not last long, whether it is synthetic or real human hair, is the comb you use and how you use it. This type of wig is perfect for all wig types, both synthetic and ...

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical minefield, with fears of a generation of ‘designer babies’ with pick ‘n’ mix ...

Learning to read and write is the beginning of literacy, a progression now mirrored in modern genomics. Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003.
