Rationale engineering generates a compact new tool for gene therapy

Researchers redesign a compact RNA-guided enzyme from bacteria, making it an efficient editor of human DNA.

An ancient RNA-guided system could simplify delivery of gene editing therapies

The programmable proteins are compact, modular, and can be directed to modify DNA in human cells.

For healthy hearing, timing matters

Machine-learning models let neuroscientists study the impact of auditory processing on real-world hearing.

When computer vision works more like a brain, it sees more like people do

Training artificial neural networks with data from real brains can make computer vision more robust.
