Genetic engineering is moving faster than almost any other scientific field. New tools now allow researchers to edit DNA with ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Biologists have engineered adeno-associated viruses that are better at capsid filling, potentially resulting in higher productivity.

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 ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

(Reuters) - Scientists in China have manipulated embryonic stem cells to create laboratory mice with two male parents that managed to live to adulthood - though with significant developmental ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

The modification of the genetic makeup of cells. Genetic engineering modifies the DNA in cells to alter their behavior. In 1953, the discovery of the DNA double helix, technically deoxyribonucleic ...

Despite the regulatory and funding roadblocks, Murray and fellow researcher Elizabeth Maga continue to work on a line of genetically engineered goats, which carry a human gene that produces elevated ...

The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be recalling some other arrangement of amino-acids. A recent examination of protein ...
