A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

Genetic engineering is considered one of the most sophisticated scientific tools for changing the genetic blueprint of a living organism according to our suitable design. This attention-seeking branch ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Sightings of the iconic species have been sparse since the early 20th century. The debate on whether the ivory-billed woodpecker is actually extinct may be ongoing, but a genetic engineering company ...

Hordes of feral cats terrorizing native species in Australia could be combatted using a special type of genetic engineering, scientists have suggested. The feral cats now number over six million, and ...

Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.

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 ...

The mega-ethical question of who and what is a human being is brought to one’s mind with increasing frequency by the accelerating advances in scientific technology. As human beings increasingly apply ...
