The genetically modified “dire wolves” created by Colossal Biosciences have hit a major milestone: they’re now six months old ...

For the creation, insertion and replication of these sequences in the target host, molecular cloning techniques are key. It should, however, be noted that genome “modification”, “engineering” and ...

Scientists start a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life, in what is thought to be a world first.

Turning to genetic modification could be a solution for a number of genetic diseases including sickle cell anemia, muscular dystrophy and cancer. This can be done through modifying human embryos ...

Twenty-five years ago, the scientific breakthrough of mammalian cloning marked a monumental moment in medicine and science. I, the only physician in the U.S. Senate at the time, journeyed to the ...

Information on hazards to the health of the target food animal species developed using heritable genetic modification techniques; Information on any other potential hazards that might reasonably be ...

Heritable Genetic Modification in Food Animals, a new congressionally mandated report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, offers recommendations for identifying the ...

But genetic modification is a controversial endeavor. Governments are hesitant, and few in Africa have laws to regulate the use of the technology. Its risks lie in the unknowns: ...

The practice of genetic modification is as old as humanity. For thousands of years, humans have bred crops, livestock and even pets that possess desirable traits. This selective process, which ...

Aquaculture and genetic modification could provide the basis for solving some of the world’s food insecurity problems in the coming decades, Israeli scientists believe. By 2050, the global ...
