In the future researchers are hoping to use genetic engineering to be able to overcome some inherited disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease amongst others.

Resistance to diseases could be introduced into susceptible crops using genetic engineering. Not only can this protect the crop, it can also safeguard farmers' livelihoods. An example is ...

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 ...

The Moulakis Lecture Series on Responsible Engineering seeks to inspire students to start thinking today about the immense power of engineering and their active role in shaping its future. Lucky ...

Genomic engineering is the top-down, global approach to synthetic biology; to be distinguished from bottom-up, local genetic circuit engineering. The site-specific DNA inversion system is a ...

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web browser and camera, among many other devices. The same is now possible in ...

Frances Arnold, PhD (Nobel Prize Lecture 2018) In a new preprint that ... “The recipe for life is entirely present in the genetic information contained in our DNA,” said Kimberly Powell ...
