In an unprecedented leap in scientific discovery, a new lifeform has been constructed using a mere 57 genetic instructions.

This topic explores the application of advanced biotechnological approaches—including genetic engineering tools such as CRISPR/Cas9, RNA interference ...

Nature has spent millennia honing the virus into a ruthlessly efficient delivery vehicle for nucleic acids. Viruses have even been harnessed for our own delivery purposes. But some applications have ...

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...

Modified CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing scissors are enabling researchers to make alterations to the genetic material of single-cell organisms that are indistinguishable from natural mutations. This method ...

The application of genetic engineering to food crops is controversial, and rightly so. Critics worry that changing genetics may have harmful, unanticipated effects on food safety and the environment.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emulate, Inc., a leading provider of next-generation in vitro models, today announced the launch of its new adeno-associated virus (AAV) transduction application for the Liver ...
