Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

Of course, it is easy to support genetic engineering to correct dire dysfunction. The problems arise when we start engineering for “improvements.” As human beings, with limited knowledge and ...

By selecting appropriate promoters for specific tissues, researchers can fine-tune gene expression to achieve the desired effects, an essential step in advancing genetic models for disease research.

Listed below are links to the GEN stories referenced in this episode of Touching Base: Scientists in NYC Rally to Defend and Stand Up for Science By Corinna Singleman, PhD, GEN, March 10, 2025 ...

Hop it! The problem began in 1935, when 101 cane toads were brought to northern Queensland in a failed attempt to control pesky beetles that were eating the local sugarcane. Tens of thousands of ...

- January 5, 2025 Credit: Unsplash+. Genetic engineering, the science of altering DNA to improve or change the characteristics of living things, is making huge strides in 2024.

The US government also employs many genetic engineers in various departments and agencies. – Besides getting a bachelor’s degree in biomedical or genetic engineering, prospective engineers can get a ...

To identify potential targets for genetic engineering, Wu et al. employed transcriptional sequencing and proteomics to investigate the differences between the uteruses of laying hens with high- and ...

After using a new method called chromosome substitution and a technique similar to CRISPR /Cas9 to fix genetic defects, they achieved a single yeast cell with more than 50 percent synthetic DNA.

Working on a remote island, scientists think they can use genetic engineering to block a malaria-carrying species of mosquito from spreading the disease — and do it in just a few months. But ...
