Over the past two decades, synthetic biology has fueled advancements across a broad range of disciplines, including agriculture, bioremediation, biofuel production, and chemical manufacturing. Today, ...

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

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 ...

Should we genetically modify wild lions? Of course not, might be your instant response. But what if lions were being wiped out by a devastating disease introduced by people? What if the genetic change ...

Genetic engineering is a key technology for boosting agricultural yields. However, it still has a bad reputation. Sandro Marcos denies choosing Bojie Dy, says parties met for 'plenty of weeks' ...

Some people build fences or plant flowers in their backyards. Others build contraptions that raise more questions than answers. Whether it’s a trash can full of sweet tea, a DIY pool wrapped in ...

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.
