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 ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully ...

Scientists used AI to engineer E. coli with only 19 amino acids, unlocking new possibilities in genetics and synthetic ...

Genetically modified organisms have been at the center of controversy for decades. But what does the science actually say?

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, are mapping the genetic differences between the domestic chicken and its wild relative the junglefowl. They will now try to find out whether it is possible ...

Science updates include a genome study reshaping perceptions of post-Roman Europe, SpaceX's bold compensation strategy connecting Elon Musk's pay to Mars colonization, and a U.S. company's venture to ...

Another important milestone was reached recently for TSMC and ARM when the teams taped out at the end of December 2013 (see block diagram) the first 64 bit ARMv8 processors in a big.LITTLE ...

Should we genetically modify wild lions? Of course not, might be your instant response. But what if lions were being wiped out by a devastating disease introduced by people? What if the genetic change ...

A South Korean life sciences company plans to open a genetic testing lab in North Austin, a move that could create up to 200 jobs. Last week, the Austin City Council approved a $200,000 economic ...
