From CRISPR to gene banking, synthetic biology has big implications for wildlife evolution and conservation, but ethical ...

In experiments, researchers showed that the disease-spreading insects couldn’t resist the sweet smell of a fungus that infected and killed them.

An engineering researcher at RIT has discovered the means to process data using DNA. Their biocomputing design is a breakthrough that builds on innovative DNA engineering and computing system advances ...

A team of scientists created a new gene-editing tool that they claim is more accurate than the industry standard, CRISPR. Researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia, developed what is called ...

Matthew Hayes (Left) is the Chief Technology Officer and founder at Evonetix, a groundbreaking gene synthesis technology company created in 2015, where he deploys his expertise in multi-disciplinary ...

The cost of sequencing DNA has dropped dramatically, and with technologies like CRISPR, gene editing is becoming more precise and powerful than ever. From curing genetic diseases to designing the next ...

DNA nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that exploits the inherent base-pairing rules of DNA to design and assemble nanoscale structures with high precision. These engineered constructs have ...

Biologist Charles Darwin began crafting his theory of evolution on a trip to the Galapagos Islands, where he discovered animals had developed unique traits that varied from island to island. Nearly ...

and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these sequences, we could unlock how cells and organisms fundamentally work. Now, research from Northwestern Engineering ...
