The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not. Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect ...

Some conservation groups are calling for an effective ban on genetic modification, but others say these technologies are crucial for preserving biodiversity ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has been challenged by the limitations of virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a ...

For nearly a decade, Jared Westbrook has worked on resurrecting the American chestnut, an iconic tree that nearly vanished from the United States a century ago. The American Chestnut Foundation, a ...
