Genetic modification of viruses has long been used as a strategy to treat and prevent different types of diseases. Specifically, it consists of exploiting certain characteristics of viruses that make ...

It already exists in the natural world. Now, thanks to breakthroughs in genetic engineering, scientists have created “supersilk.” And it’s poised to upgrade far more than our clothing.

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

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 ...

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Colossal Biosciences, a breakthrough biosciences and genetic engineering company, announced an oversubscribed $60M Series A financing led by Thomas Tull and At One Ventures ...

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

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 U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) invites public comment on a petition ...

What if you could screen embryos for diseases before they became babies? What if you had the power to choose the traits your baby would have? Would you use it? These practically polar opposite ...

The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be ...
