Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) refers to artificial DNA molecules that are created by combining genetic material from different sources. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from one ...

This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a ...

Gene-edited crops are no safer than GMOs, and fast-tracking regulatory approval could trigger a costly backlash.

Rob Reynish asks readers to look behind the political labels to what science can do to keep our food industries from falling ...

Doggybone DNA ™ (dbDNA) is a technology developed by biotech company Touchlight, which is a form of linear plasmid with applications in genetic engineering and ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

FOR more than 50 years, biologists have been genetically engineering organisms in increasingly precise ways. From the early, crude methods of the 1960s and 1970s, to the modern “gene editing” ...
