St. Jude researchers advance CASTs, enhancing precision and activity for next-generation genome-editing therapies.

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have emerged as a powerful optimisation tool in product design and user-centred engineering, drawing inspiration from the principles of biological evolution. They use ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

Fifty years ago today, scientists met to set safety limits on the new field of genetic engineering. This week researchers meet again to discuss big questions as biotechnology grows more powerful.

The scientists, co-led by Wei Wang, PhD, and colleagues, performed a side-by-side genetic comparison between mammal species—including rabbits—that can regenerate ear tissue and those—including ...

Steven Broyles, professor and chair of SUNY Cortland’s Biological Sciences Department, will discuss the pressing issues surrounding the role of genetically modified food in global sustainability on ...

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

Some scientists looking to preserve vulnerable species have turned to a controversial technique: synthetic biology. This ...
